I want to raise a formal objection to the whole idea of chameleon namespaces in XForms 1.1. This is not how namespaces are designed to work and it's going to cause massive problems for anyone writing any sort of software to process XForms, whether it's DOM, SAX. XSLT, XPath, or almost anything else. XForms elements should be able to be recognized by their namespace alone. I should not have to care about the host language in which they're embedded. If we're going to go changing the namespace for every host language that comes along, we might as well not have namespaces in the first place. -- Elliotte Rusty Harold elharo@metalab.unc.edu Java I/O 2nd Edition Just Published! http://www.cafeaulait.org/books/javaio2/ http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0596527500/ref=nosim/cafeaulaitA/
