I think that IE, noticing the document type declaration, is insisting on
validating the document.  If the dtd does not define the namespace
"attribute", IE would return this response.  What to put in the DTD to
pursuade it to accept the namespcae prefix?  Sorry, I can't help, but try
the obvious constructions.  How to get IE not to validate?  If you were
running msxml3 under program control you could, but I don't think you can
when it's being run by the browser.

I've seen these unwanted validating efforts too.  Not a lot of help, I'm
afraid.

Cheers,
