           Summary: XML parser needs to implement rules for reserved xml
                    and xmlns namespaces
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: XML
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

There are a few rules about the xml and xmlns namespaces that are not implemented in our XML parser:

1) Both the xml and xmlns prefixes are supposed to be rebound to their respective namespaces.
2) Neither the xml nor xmlns prefix can be rebound to another namespace.
3) Neither the xml nor xmlns namespaces are allowed as a default namespace.
4) Neither the xml nor xmlns namespaces may have another prefix bound to them.

Until this bug is fixed, a proper implementation of xml:lang is impractical.
