Namespaces don't exist in HTML. The only 'namespace' spec that I'm aware of is the W3C's "Namespaces in XML", at http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/, and that doesn't apply to HTML documents. Just because Microsoft might have implemented their own proprietry version of namespaces, doesn't mean that there is any concept of a 'namespace' in HTML documents. And no, you can't send an XForms document as text/html, because it's neither valid HTML nor XHTML Appendix C-compliant. Regards, Malcolm
