[Mono-list] XmlWriter failing to write xmlns declaration

[tferch]

Using System.Xml.XmlWriter, I had a strange problem with writing the
namespace declaration into the file. The line:

writer.WriteAttributeString("xmlns", NCXNamespace,
“http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/”, NCXNamespaceURI);

was crashing with the exception:
"Invalid attribute namespace for namespace declaration."

It would appear that this exception should only be thrown if the namespace
URI does not match the proper string, but the provided string
(“http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/”) should be the proper match. 

Any insights on why this was occurring?
