By splitting XML into Web and Non-Web, the support of software projects would necessarily be divided. One might flourish at the expense of the other. I argued this position in MicroXML, but @xml:* was sacrificed for essentially aesthetic reasons. By changing XML core, backwards compatibility would obviously be a requirement. Support might evolve for the new features, or it might not. It wouldn't be detrimental though IMHO. Peter
