If we have a reserved attribute named "XML-LINK", | used to select among somewhere between 2 and 5 different types of | elements that make up the linking machinery, then we *own* this attribute. | Why do we need to prefix the *values* with "XML-"? It seems like | | <A XML-LINK="LINK"> or <WHIZZY-POINTER XML-LINK="XLINK"> | | are safe and unambiguous. You're right. I was still thinking (without thinking) that there would be GIs with the same names as the attribute values. Since we're not allowing those, the syntax you suggest should work fine. I like it. Jon
