Perhaps, though this "predictable way" seems deeply disconnected from XML practice. Most XML developers don't touch RDF, or even have much interest in it. XLink, while slightly arcane, isn't especially difficult, especially as RDDL uses it. The part of RDDL most people seem to stumble on - the use of URIs as identifiers - is also likely to keep them out of RDF. This may work for you, but I don't believe it makes sense as a general solution for work with XML namespaces. -- Simon St.Laurent Ring around the content, a pocket full of brackets Errors, errors, all fall down! http://simonstl.com
