Well for me xml:lang is application level thing (as discussed), and xml:space is only ever really needed to selectively not strip whitespace when whitespace stripping is performed by the parser, and I would expect this to be disallowed in the spec anyway. > If you remove xml:base and xml:id, I think coverage of the other two in > John's draft is less than half a page.

In fact it annoys me when xml:id is used because it imposes the spec's concept of an id... for example I might want to use '12345' for an id, or a phone number etc. -- Andrew Welch http://andrewjwelch.com
