xhtml multiple namespaces

Hello,

When I declare namespaces in the root "html" tag of my xhtml 1.0
transitional pages, I get error in w3c.validator (xmlns:dc or xmlns:tei
not an attribute...)

<pre>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:fxp="http://www.fxparlant.net"
xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
xmlns:tei="http://www.tei-c.org/"
xml:lang="en" lang="en" dir="ltr">
</pre>

Which doctype should I choose to include these namespaces and be
validated by w3c ?

François

If you are combining elements from different namespaces you will
probably need to write your own DTD or schema, unless anyone has already
done that for all those namespaces you are using above.
