The above example is invalid because it declares the div having a
prefix of dc: example:
<dc:div xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">
<h2 property="dc:title">The trouble with Bob</h2>
<h3 property="dc:creator">Alice</h3>
...
</dc:div>
No Martin, that's not how the default namespace (which <div> is in)
works. xmlns="..." sets the default namespace, so would have an effect
on the meaning of <div>. xmlns:dc="..." sets an explicitly prefixed
namespace, so has no effect on the meaning of the <div> element.
I am misunderstanding the meaning of this
