[Andrew Hankinson]

Ok, so by extension

<someElement xml:base=“something”>

is OK too?

It’s enough to say

<mei xmlns="http://www.music-encoding.org/ns/mei">
  <someElement xml:id="abc123" />
</mei>

(oXygen seems to understand that @id is in the XML namespace.)

but

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mei xmlns:xml="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"
  xmlns="http://www.music-encoding.org/ns/mei">
  <someElement xml:id="abc123" />
</mei>

is ok too.

You just can’t declare the XML namespace as anything other than “http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace”<http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace%E2%80%9D>.
