The only way to decide what properties you want an NSURI to >have is to have some idea how you want to use it. Reminder: The namespace name itself does not have to be the URI reference which is dereferenced. It can be bound to one (or to many!), thus removing the conflict between "names have to be stable" and "references have to be relative". See, for example, my xmlns-binding: sketch, or http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#xsi:schemaLocation for illustrations of solutions that decouple these and thus allow the two conflicting sets of requirements to be statisfied independently. ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research
