The original spec did contain an NSResolover argument, which was based upon the XPathNSResolver. It was dropped for technical reasons and lack of use cases. For a discussion of alternatives, see the thread beginning this message: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2008JulSep/0115.html > Hope you'll put this feature at least in version 2 of Selectors API, > or people will go back to XPath. It would really help a lot if those who believe being able to resolve namespaces is an important feature, could document clear use cases that cannot be solved easily without, or would be solved more easily with, support for namespaces. -- Lachlan Hunt - Opera Software http://lachy.id.au/ http://www.opera.com/
