Have full namespace URIs? Those are so long that nobody will ever use them. Have people use DTD entities to shorten those URIs, like is e.g. done in RDF? I hoped we would have gotten rid of that :). I wish RDF had used QNames instead. ~Grauw -- Ushiko-san! Kimi wa doushite, Ushiko-san!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Laurens Holst, student, university of Utrecht, the Netherlands.
