It's important to note that 3023 only implies a commitment to support bare names and the element scheme. The xpointer scheme, which is where most of the complication arises, is not required. In fact, it's specifically prohibited. I suppose the xmlns scheme is also required, but it's sort of pointless sans the xpointer scheme since neither bare names nor the element scheme make any use of it. -- 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=nosim
