Ah! I see what you mean properly now. :-) As I read it, the prefix of an Attr node is, in the face of namespace normalisation, not fixed, so it makes sense that a non-namespace-well-formed situation (namespace w/ null prefix) should be allowed to exist temporarily - it could be used by authors to create attributes in a namespace without caring what prefix will later be used in the serialisation. My interpretation, anyway. -- Andrew Clover mailto:and@doxdesk.com http://www.doxdesk.com/
