Is there any way to alias an element or attribute from another namespace? This immediate spur of this question is that the XHTML 2.0 draft is struggling with xml:id http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml2/mod-core.html#col_Core At the moment, it defines both id and xml:id, but says not to use them on the same element. I believe what they really want is to say is closer to: xml:id is a core attribute. id is just an alias for xml:id. It is not merely similar, or a second copy; it is the same attribute, so only one of the two names can be used on any given element. I believe that xml:lang and xml:base are similar, and there is a chance that aliasing could help resolve some of the problems with xlink. -jJ
