Not a newbie question as I asked the same question earlier for pyXML [1]! <smile/> c14n.py has a means of taking additional prefixes, and I just added an option for the xpath/test command line and test harness. However, I'm still not sure how to pass the default ns to the python xml libraries -- that' s something I need to dig more on. In terms of API for our own (thtis WG's) tests, I'd prefer that the parameter be a string of white space delimited series of prefix:values and '#default' be the key word, but whomever sends the tests dictates their form. <smile/> [1] http://mail.python.org/pipermail/xml-sig/2002-April/007527.html
