True, the prefix is not the issue, but namespace identifiers themselves tend to be rather long. Subtle differences between identifiers can be easily missed by human readers, leading to confusion and errors. At some point a convention will be established for XML Schema namespace prefix: why not have it come from the WG? That way, everyone starts off on the same page. Jeff
