I don't think we're going to or should replace namespaces for all existing (or perhaps any exiting) specs. However, I see no reason to pollute future specs with systems we know to be broken. However, this is not just one special case. I think any future XML reserved attributes should also avoid the use of the xml: prefix and its associated problems. -- Elliotte Rusty Harold elharo@metalab.unc.edu XML in a Nutshell 3rd Edition Just Published! http://www.cafeconleche.org/books/xian3/ http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0596007647/cafeaulaitA/ref=nosimReceived on Friday, 22 April 2005 21:41:38 GMT
