Unless I missed the point, you are saying you want to divide a GI by a colon to provide and application with a morphology for a namespace. My comment quoted above was that that was done in several applications of SGML using compound GIs (it was an Oster app where I saw it used) so it was doable. Use of the colon doesn't seem necessary for that. What the ERB says doesn't phase me. If it violates SGML rules, that does. len
