[oXygen-user] Do I need a namespace declaration in dita root elements?

[Wendell Piez]

Frank,

This is more than you asked for, but here:
https://github.com/wendellpiez/XMLNamespaceFixup

No you don't need that namespace. Getting rid of it isn't hard if you know
what it is, exactly. (The topic of what is a namespace I think I'll leave
aside, however.)

And XSLT instructions such as xsl:copy and xsl:copy-of frequently permit
copy-namespaces="no" to avoid unwanted namespace proliferation.

Good luck, Wendell
