Hi,

I am using the very convenient 'Web Developer' extension for FireFox 
(http://chrispederick.com/work/webdeveloper/). It has a feature which 
accesses the html validator from W3C. Using this check gives an 
unexpected error:

-----------------------8<------------------------------

Content-Type:          text/html
Encoding:                 utf-8
Doctype:                 XHTML 1.0 Strict
Root Namespace:     http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml
Other Namespaces     http://wicket.sourceforge.net/

   1. Error Line 6 column 14: there is no attribute "xmlns:wicket".

        xmlns:wicket="http://wicket.sourceforge.net/";

      You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the
      document type you are using does not support that attribute for
      this element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the
      "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you
      must use the "Transitional" document type to get the "target"
      attribute), or by using vendor proprietary extensions such as
      "marginheight" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the
      desired effect instead).

      This error may also result if the element itself is not supported
      in the document type you are using, as an undefined element will
      have no supported attributes; in this case, see the
      element-undefined error message for further information.

      How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and
      attribute, (Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or check that
      they are both allowed in the chosen document type, and/or use CSS
      instead of this attribute.

-----------------------8<------------------------------

As you can see the wicket namespace *is* recognised.

Here are the first lines of the html file:
-----------------------8<------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";>
<html
    xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
    xmlns:wicket="http://wicket.sourceforge.net/";
    xml:lang="nl_NL"
    lang="nl_NL">
-----------------------8<------------------------------

Any ideas on why this fails?
Is this related to the recommendation of 
http://www.wicket-wiki.org.uk/wiki/index.php/Best_Practices_and_Gotchas 
recommends to use the transitional dtd? And why is this dtd recommend 
anyway?

Regards,
      Erik.
