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


Hi all,



I am cleaning up DITA files created with FrameMaker. FrameMaker has added a lot of unnecessary attributes, for example.



Among others, FM has added an xmlns:ditaarch attribute to every top-level dita element such as concept, task or reference. Example:



<concept id="id187JBI00EHS" xml:lang="en-US" xmlns:ditaarch="http://dita.oasis-open.org/architecture/2005/"<http://dita.oasis-open.org/architecture/2005/>>



Can I safely remove this attribute or is it required?



Regards,

Frank
