Oh, wow.  Ok, I'll fix that in the next release.  Could you send the full
xml file, please?  It's not obvious from your snippet where the superfluous
other definition of xmlns:xi is.

Now, you say that instead of trying the converter, you stared out right
away with v3 syntax, but neither the DOCTYPE above, nor the <?rfc ... ?>
PIs visible in your snippet are appropriate for a v3 document.  Did you
grab a v2 template to start with?  I think really going to lead you into
a number of problems if you start with a v2 template and declare it to be
v3.

Using the v2v3 converter on a v2 document, even on a v2 template, on the
other hand, should give you a proper v3 starting point, without the issues
you've run into so far.
