Not so. In XML 1.0, there are no validity constraints that are namespace
related.

Not so. "xmlns" declares a default namespace, and may be empty.
(See the namespaces spec at
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/#scoping-defaulting)

Not so. the xml4j parser distributed with xercxes 1_1_3 processes
tpaML_1_1_6 without error.
This is in fact the expected behavior.

I suspect this error is an artifact of the parser that was used, not a
problem in the DTD.
