I couldn't care less about non-normalizability of XML names per se, but you indicated that any data that will be communicated to the server can't be normalized. You said this in the context of form textfields, but there's nothing particularly special about those that I can see... Any data exposed via a DOM API, whether it be form input values or XML/HTML tag localNames can be sent to the server, right? Again, it feels like I'm missing something here. -Boris
