Namespaces are not about disambiguating the semantics of names, just names as such and their ownership. The fact that given a name in a namespace per XML Namespaces 1.0 you can't even tell whether it names an element, and attribute, an ID or all three already makes that clear. This is not a bug, it's a feature -- as Michael Kay says, interpretation is always context-bound, that's in the nature of names. ht -- Henry S.
