    <p>Hi all,</p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>I am cleaning up DITA files created with FrameMaker. FrameMaker
      has added a lot of unnecessary attributes, for example.</p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>Among others, FM has added an <b>xmlns:ditaarch</b> attribute to
      every top-level dita element such as concept, task or reference.
      Example:<br>
    </p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p><concept id="id187JBI00EHS" xml:lang="en-US" <b>xmlns:ditaarch=<a href="http://dita.oasis-open.org/architecture/2005/" target="_blank">"http://dita.oasis-open.org/architecture/2005/"</a></b>><br>
    </p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p> Can I safely remove this attribute or is it required?</p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>Regards,</p>
    <p>Frank<br>
