From one struggling to understand XML, this sounds like a very sensible approach (dropping the http://, or at least http:). The http: effectively, or at least seemingly, says that what follows can be accessed using the http protocol, when in fact that is not the intent. Regardless of how the well-informed view the issue, casual users will assume that there is something behind the name. -- Ken Irving Trident Software jkirving@mosquitonet.com
