Try it in Firefox; it works just fine there.  See also the catch-all bug 284186
which mentions a few other things.

We must fix this for the next version.

That branch FF eats this mess is just because it uses a non-xml-namespaces
conformant parser.

Please don't stage RDF that isn't RDF. Use http://www.w3.org/RDF/Validator before.
Saying this as RDF module owner. I'm not supporting anything else.

Raising severity, this may break at any time. Note that this is a FF 1.1 blocker.

Hi there,
I'll be very happy if this can be fixed! This is one of the websites I am working on (with SVG): http://www.marsop.info/

Bypass the logon procedure by following this link:
http://www.marsop.info/scripts/mars.exe?page=logonpage&username=anonymous&pw=abcd
Then click on the logo and see the error appear in the upper left corner.
TIA, Dobedani

That's just a bug in your app. The xlink: prefix is not bound to the XLink namespace... The root element is also not bound to the SVG namespace which is yet another issue... Anyway, that's a completely separate issue and not related to this bug at all.

Note that FF 1.5 has shipped, and does NOT tolerate this stuff.

This bug is resolved by deprecating the use of rdf in update information.
