It's very hard my viewpoint on this is that if there is no namespace, then you can't really say it is a namespace, because the people who designed the language or the instance didn't think of it that way. > to talk about it and make conformance requirements that involve it when > it doesn't have a name. See how James Clark got around this http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#node-tests by using expanded names: http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#dt-expanded-name "The namespace URI is either null or a string." I think that works and people are used to this at this point, Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | libxml Gnome XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ daniel@veillard.com | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/ http://veillard.com/ | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/
