Will this action suffice http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/actions/105 ? Action-105 is relevant. I suggest noting in the action that some versioning mechanisms might provide another means for avoiding difficulties even if there are two different languages that share the same namespace, as long as there is agreement on the versioning mechanism and a way of using it to indicate which language is used. Note also W3C TAG issue http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/issues/41 which is concerned with the general XML versioning strategy. Larry -- http://larry.masinter.net
