Sure, but most people use HTTP URIs anyway for namespaces. You can use any URI or any system you want with class="". The key is just to make it unique enough that clashes won't happen. In practice, names like "dc:title" are actually quite unique enough. But people can use much more unique ones if desired, all the way to full URIs. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
