For PHPTAL these prefixes are "magic" and you don't have to declare them  
in templates, so unless you're using other XML tools on template files,  
don't put xmlns:tal, etc. at all.

If you want to have declarations and keep W3C Validator happy, the DTD for  
it would look something like this:

<!ENTITY % XHTML10Strict PUBLIC
    "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
%XHTML10Strict;

<!ATTLIST html
   xmlns:tal       %URI;          #FIXED  
'http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/tal'
   xmlns:metal     %URI;          #FIXED  
'http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/metal'
   xmlns:i18n      %URI;          #FIXED  
'http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/i18n'
