I don't know if I'm missing something here but wouldn't the default namespace on the root element of the package be enough to cover the namespace requirements?
All other generated items in the package have the following syntax
<item id="id-idp41008" href="ch05.xhtml"
media-type="application/xhtml+xml"/>
and only the items added to the template have the namespace declaration as part
of the item as shown in the prior message. I ended up adding the namespace
declaration to the individual item
<item xmlns="http://www.idpf.org/2007/opf"; id="font1"
href="type/DejaVuSansMono.ttf" media-type="font/truetype"/>
and now it validates. I think my question is whether we can skip the NS
declaration and use the default from the package. Either way I'm good :-)
