It appears that the xml namespace declaration for "fb" has changed. The old namespace - to support fbml

was: xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml

According to this page on developers.facebook.com the new namespace declaration to support xfbml for social plugins should be:

(click on the "get code" button to see the xfbml code and the namespace they suggest)

I believe that the docs for dff should be updated to reflect this change, but I am unclear whether other parts of the module still use the deprecated fmbl tags so I have not made documentation changes myself.

oops! Looks like the namespace declaration was scrubbed - it should read:

xmlns:fb="http://ogp.me/ns/fb#"

this should be inserted into the < html > tag of the page template

Changing the namespace fixed the issue I was having in the 7.x branch. #1480868: Comment plugin in IE is not adjusting height

Their doc still includes plenty of examples of the old attribute.

Still, I will update the README.txt. Not sure what else I can do in the module.

Well, since it is facebook - everything is possible...

with the last 3/14/12 dev - if you will change this declaration FB connect will not work on IE with the new declaration.
xmlns:fb="http://ogp.me/ns/fb#"
If you stay with the old one,
xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml"
it works very nice....
I think we should wait with this. I'm keeping the old declaration as it works for me.

tested on IE8, IE9

Since other modules use ogp.me declaration, both declarations are now included with the same attribute. This creates an html validation error. 

Line 13, Column 57: duplicate specification of attribute "xmlns:fb"
  xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#"xmlns:fb="http://ogp.me/ns/fb#">

I've changed it back, does latest .dev build fix the problem?
