[Clipart] Namespace as part of validation

For those who don't read my blog (who are you? ;) you might not know 
that I've been in a discussion with the Mozilla folks about the SVG 
support in Firefox 1.5.  It turns out that some SVG files in OCAL will 
not render in Firefox.  While I disagree with the reason, I think that 
OCAL should also fix it this side also.

The reason is that Firefox will not render SVG files without the svg 
namespace being declared.  It makes sense that OCAL could add this as 
part of the validation of incoming files.

What do people think?  Should all OCAL files have the namespace declared?

Here is the Mozilla bug discussing the issue:
