Another question about code details inside the OPF:

Sigil generates the part with the metadata like this:

Code:

<metadata xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:opf="http://www.idpf.org/2007/opf">
   
    <dc:title xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Lorem Ipsum</dc:title>
[...]
</metadata>

Is it really necessary, that in each child element of the element metadata the

Code:

xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"

has to be inserted?

The validator epubcheck says: no.
