The main question that made me wonder was, suppose someone wants to define a type of namespace that's defined by something other than a URI? (In such a case, it might be best to be able to swap out the <href> element for something else.) However, I think the answer is that they should just define a new URI scheme. -- /=================================================================\ |John Stracke | http://www.ecal.com |My opinions are my own. | |Chief Scientist |================================================| |eCal Corp. |When rats leave a sinking ship, where exactly do| |francis@ecal.com|they think they're going? | \=================================================================/
