--- | --- | --- | ---
xml:base | xs:anyURI | optional | ### base (as an attribute name) denotes an attribute whose value provides a URI to be used as the base for interpreting any relative URIs in the scope of the element on which it appears; its value is inherited. This name is reserved by virtue of its definition in the XML Base specification. See http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlbase/ for information about this attribute.
xml:id | xs:ID | optional | ### id (as an attribute name) denotes an attribute whose value should be interpreted as if declared to be of type ID. This name is reserved by virtue of its definition in the xml:id specification. See http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-id/ for information about this attribute.
xml:lang | union of(xs:language, restriction of xs:string) | optional | ### lang (as an attribute name) denotes an attribute whose value is a language code for the natural language of the content of any element; its value is inherited. This name is reserved by virtue of its definition in the XML specification. #### Notes Attempting to install the relevant ISO 2- and 3-letter codes as the enumerated possible values is probably never going to be a realistic possibility. See BCP 47 at http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/bcp/bcp47.txt and the IANA language subtag registry at http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry for further information. The union allows for the 'un-declaration' of xml:lang with the empty string.
xml:space | restriction of xs:NCName | optional | ### space (as an attribute name) denotes an attribute whose value is a keyword indicating what whitespace processing discipline is intended for the content of the element; its value is inherited. This name is reserved by virtue of its definition in the XML specification.
