Fwd: xep namespace problem

["Chris Chiasson" <chris@chiasson.name>]

This got no response on the XEP mailing list. I have some additional
info to add to the forwarded message (below).

If the xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"; attribute is
manually removed from the inline SVG in my fo file, XEP stops
complaining and the document renders properly. I tried to
automatically remove the attribute by adding

                xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML";
                exclude-result-prefixes="mml"

attributes to the xsl:stylesheet root element in the adjustbase.xsl
stylesheet that comes with SVGMath, which is run after transforming
MathML to SVG so that it can baseline adjust the
fo:instream-foreign-object.

I believe the xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"; comes from
SVGMath's Python script, not from adjustbase.xsl, the original version
of which I have mirrored for your reference:

http://test.chris.chiasson.name/.xep/adjustbase.xsl

(keep in mind that Firefox doesn't display the attributes of the root
node unless you View Source)

How can I get rid of this attribute? Thanks.

After much teeth gnashing, I have isolated a problem with rendering
pdfs in XEP Version 4.9 build 20070115 January 15th, 2007 down to this
simple (modified) fo file:

http://test.chris.chiasson.name/.xep/Untitled2.fo

The snipped output of XEP is included at the end of this email. Notice
the namespaces complaint:

      [xep] [Fatal Error] .data:3:116: The prefix "xmlns" cannot be
bound to any namespace explicitly; neither can the namespace for
"xmlns" be bound to any prefix explicitly.

Since the document processes without errors when the inline foreign
object is removed, I assume XEP is complaining about one of the
attributes in:

<svg:svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML";
                                xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";

xmlns:svgmath="http://www.grigoriev.ru/svgmath"; height="14.611157pt"
                                width="56.023438pt" viewBox="0
-11.192212 56.023438 14.611157">

Is that a legitimate complaint?
