The level of complication is trivial: a rule that says attribute-name :== element-name | "xml:" element-name is all you need. And that way, MicroXML users need not invent new conventions for element identification, language identification, whitespace control, and base URI specification. -- John Cowan cowan@ccil.org http://www.ccil.org/~cowan Statistics don't help a great deal in making important decisions.
