We'd have to see a test case to determine why it is not working
for you.  That means a short (one page) doc, with the .fm, .mif
(very important), .inis, .prj, and all output files including the
log file, all in one .zip.

You wouldn't use the settings above for that; this is the root
element, not the doctype declaration.  You would use:

[DITATopicRootAttrs]
; Frame para format for topic title (wildcards OK) = attributes for
; the root element of the current topic.  It can be overridden by a 
; DITATopicRootAttr marker.

If your starting Frame format were "conhead", you'd use:

conhead=xmlns:xsa3="http://dita.oasis-open.org/architecture/2005/" 
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
 xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../../catalog/concept.xsd"

except you'd have to have it all on one line (not possible
in this post). If you want it for all topics, use * instead 
of conhead.

HTH!
