xmlns attribute in the .csproj file causes no version information to be found

[ebrown5-captioncall]

Older versions of .csproj files have this attribute in the Project tag:
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003"

When that tag is in my .csproj file, VersionReader doesn't find any version variables.

(I found this from a 4.7 project, editing the file over and over to find what was causing the failure. I don't know how reproducible it actually is)

I'm not sure the tag is needed for 2017-format projects and later, so you should be able to remove it safely. It's adding an XML namespace to the project XML which prevents the xml code from reading the values correctly.

It still compiles and the solution doesn't complain. I worry it will be restored and break things unexpectedly.
