By mapping the namespaceid to URIs, we have now accomplished global uniquification. That's all I think something like the XML spec would have to say. All other typing (lexical or otherwise) is an orthogonal issue that might be addressed by some XML-data-typing spec, but that is true for both the old fashioned single namespace DTD as well as the multiple namespace problem, so let's not mix data typing issues with namespaces issues." Thank you, Paul. That states the essential point concisely. --Andrew Layman AndrewL@microsoft.com
