One reason is that names with colons were used by by users of namespaces throughout level one. This would produce localnames that have colons in them, which seems wrong. This mixing situation is bound to produce errors in any case with the application using NS methods. I like an obvious error more than a less-obvious one, that just causes the program to malfunction for less-obvious reasons. So I like a null localname. Ray Whitmer ray@xmission.com
