Xerces 1.4 puts the xmlns attribute in a default namespace declaration
(such as <a xmlns="blah"/>) in the global namespace, like all other
attributes without a prefix. I see that a couple other specifications
place it in the "http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/" namespace, as well as the
document at http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/. Does anybody know the what the
history and current thinking is in this area and what is planned for Xerces
in the future?
