Only add the PTC ALD extension functions to the global namespace.

Only add the PTC ALD extension functions to the x3b2 namespace.

Add the PTC ALD extension functions to both the global and x3b2 namespaces.

If true, any default attributes specified in the DTD will be added to the built tree once parsing is complete.
