> Should that not be true, that certainly is not true. In general or in particular for most namespaces used as xslt extensions, almost all of which use http URI pointing at non existent files. There is absolutely no guarantee that a namespace name with a http uri scheme will return anything other than a 404 error if you attempt to dereference it. > then it's time to throw the whole thing out and start over. Or rather leave namespaces as they are, and if you are doing something which is explictly not a goal of namespace rec (like retrieving a resource at some URI) then if the namespace mechanism is not suitable, use something else, don't try to warp the namespace mechanism to fit your needs.
