Glitch in test case RDF/XML Syntax Specification (Revised)

[Gary King]

The test case unrecognised-xml-attributes//test002.rdf currently reads:

I believe that the third to the last line should read

>>     <ex:prop1 xml:newthing="anything">stuff</ex:prop1>
                                     ^

I.e., replace xmlnewthing with xml:newthing.

As I understand it, the XML Specification reserves any attribute
beginning with the letters 'x' 'm' and 'l'.  So the example is
correct that xmlnewthing is an unrecognised XML attribute.

It does not have to look like a namespace attribute 'xml:NAME'.

Thank you! You are, not surprisingly, right. At least according to  
this technical note:
