Hi, XML Schema could also be added to the list of applications which would be harmed by namespace rewriting. In this snippet for instance : <xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema" xmlns:lib="http://xmlfr.org/ns/library" .../... > .../... <xsd:complexType name="characterType" content="elementOnly"> <xsd:element name="name" type="xsd:string"/> <xsd:element name="since" type="xsd:string"/> <xsd:element name="qualification" type="lib:qualificationType"/> </xsd:complexType> "lib:qualificationType" means the type "qualificationType" defined for namespace prefixed by "lib" and "xsd:string" means the type "string" defined for namespace prefixed by "xsd". Which means that "lib:" is syntaxic sugar but if you change it, you need to change it in the type attributes as well. Hope this helps.
