rexml error
Eric Will
an error saying you MUST NOT redefine this attribute. However,
according to the XML spec:
The prefix xml is by definition bound to the namespace name
http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace. It MAY, but need not, be
declared, and MUST NOT be bound to any other namespace name. Other
prefixes MUST NOT be bound to this namespace name, and it MUST NOT be
declared as the default namespace.
In other words, it MAY be defined as
http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace. REXML doesn't check to see what
it's defined as, it just dies anytime it sees it defined.

I suggest you report it as a bug. I see a similar one:
http://www.germane-software.com/projects/rexml/ticket/106
- Mark.
P.S. in the mean time you may want to try libxml-ruby which is pretty
stable these days.

That ticket is wrong. It's fine to define it as the default namespace.
I can't correct anything, because their tracker requires registration.
No thanks.

I'll look into it.
