OK, good. Since I do and Robin does and hopefully jwatt and tor still do,
could we come to a resolution on the no DTD case?

So, Batik will now complain if there are no namespace declarations in
the instance, if the content has no DOCTYPE? That's excellent news. Its
what Mozilla does now, and a firm stand here will encourage those other
implementors who might be tempted to reverse-engineer bugs from the four
year old ASV product. (Apparently a couple of them are tracking this
discussion to decide which way to jump).

In the case of no doctype, Mozilla will absolutely require the namespaces to be explicitly declared. I want to make it clear this won't change.
