This draft incorporates a new attribute-based syntax for namespace
declarations as well as new mechanisms for defaulting and scoping.
The XML Working Group actively solicits feedback from early
implementors of the revised draft and has set up a special mailing
list to gather input for an editorial team that will review early
implementation experiences. See the section titled "Status of this
Document" near the beginning of the WD for details.
