Hi Zeljko,
I've hesitated to leap into this without doing the necessary homework first, but I think there may be another option for you to consider.
In an earlier post you reported the DTD contains declarations such as:
This suggests there's a top-level switch intended to turn namespace prefixes on the names on and off. I wonder what would happen if your DOCTYPE declaration said:
or even
Try it and see. If it works, you might be able to evade the problem in your stylesheets. If not, those declarations are certainly signs of a high-level architecture intended to let you configure the DTD from the internal subset (as I have shown), so something similar (involving an overriding declaration of a parameter entity in your DOCTYPE) may still be possible.
Without digging into the DTD's architecture I can't say for sure -- but this mechanism really ought to be documented in there.

Hi Zeljko,
I've hesitated to leap into this without doing the necessary homework first, but I think there may be another option for you to consider.
In an earlier post you reported the DTD contains declarations such as:
<!ENTITY % NS.prefixed "IGNORE"> <!ENTITY % XHTML.prefixed "%NS.prefixed;"> <!ENTITY % XHTML.xmlns "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <!ENTITY % XHTML.prefix ""> <!ENTITY % XHTML.xmlns.attrib "xmlns %URI.datatype; #FIXED '%XHTML.xmlns; %XLINK.xmlns.attrib;">
This suggests there's a top-level switch intended to turn namespace prefixes on the names on and off. I wonder what would happen if your DOCTYPE declaration said:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML Basic 1.0//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-basic/xhtml-basic10.dtd" [ <!ENTITY NS.prefixed "INCLUDE"> ]>
or even
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML Basic 1.0//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-basic/xhtml-basic10.dtd" [ <!ENTITY NS.prefixed "IGNORE"> ]>
Try it and see. If it works, you might be able to evade the problem in your stylesheets. If not, those declarations are certainly signs of a high-level architecture intended to let you configure the DTD from the internal subset (as I have shown), so something similar (involving an overriding declaration of a parameter entity in your DOCTYPE) may still be possible.

Cheers, Wendell

Hi Jeni,
first of all thanks for your help. All just works as you described. :) Still I got some questions left to which you maybe/hopefully could give an answer....
