+Summary: Parsing file which refers to xml: namespace throws exception
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
+are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+
+The XML specifications require that the "xml:" namespace prefix must only
+be used with the URI "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace".  The reverse
+is also true: if that URI is used, it must only be used with the "xml:" prefix.
+
+This requirement is enforced by Mono's XML parser.  Unfortunately the
+exception is thrown even if the correct prefix and URI are used.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Save the test case files (which I will attach shortly) in a single
+directory.
+2. Compile test.cs to test.exe.
+3. Run test.exe 
+
+Actual Results:
+
+Exception is thrown:
+
+Unhandled Exception: System.ArgumentException: Namespace URI
+"http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace" can only be declared with the fixed
+prefix "xml"
+
+Expected Results:
+
+The program should simply exit; the XML document is well-formed.
+
+How often does this happen? 
+
+Always.
+
+Additional Information:
+
+This occurs with beta 2.
