Great. So now I get to do the namespace declaration three times? (Once with
the PI, once with the XSC:Namespace just to document the ns, and once in the
document itself?) Talk about redundancy!
Forget it. This one's staying where it is, unless I hear from an angry crowd.
And yes, you could document both the ns info and the prefix if you felt like
it.
