That's an interesting comment -- I'd say that everything from the opening element <theprop... to the closing element </theprop> is the property, and the outermost element is called its 'name'. Everything about the property should be stored, including 'copying down' namespace declarations where required. > IMO, PROP_ATTR is about defining the boundary between > property naming, and a property's value. I don't think there is a boundary per se, the name is extracted from the property. Tim
