I think you are misunderstanding. Norm was talking about element and attribute names when he said we'd use the XML namespace. But one cannot use namespaces with PI targets which is why we are putting in the bit about PI targets starting with xml- which covers things like xml-model. All Norm is saying here (and with which Henry and I agree) is that we need not say anything about element and attribute names starting with xml because if we ever need such, we'd use namespaces. paul On Dec 12, 2012, at 11:46, Liam R E Quin <liam@w3.org> wrote: > On Wed, 2012-12-12 at 11:11 -0600, Norman Walsh wrote: > >> I made a couple of attempts to draft the prose I said I wanted, prose >> that would make it explicit that element and attribute names starting >> with "xml" were allowed but might get walked on in the future. >> >> But (a) all my attempts seemed clumsy and likely to generate more >> confusion rather than less and (b) we wouldn't actually do that, we'd >> use the xml: namespace.
