Does a namespace alone indicate the semantic meaning of an XML document? Is it 'enough' of a hint to do useful things? Or do you need the name of the root element as well? Would schema+rootElement be a better alternative? Would that sufficiently identify the 'model' of the message content? Could XML documents without schema use namespace in place of schema reference? Is there a more general idea of 'content-model' that might apply to multiple content-type representations? Example: Content-Type: application/xml Content-Model: http://www.w3.org/2001/12/soap-envelope#Envelope and Content-Type: application/x-java-serialized-object Content-Model: java:org.apache.sample.user.profile Mike
