Why not use the list that is provided by the list of elements in teh specification - http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40-971218/index/elements.html - for example the acronym element refers to http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40-971218/struct/text.html#edef-ACRONYM Charles McCN On Fri, 15 Jun 2001, Sean B.

Such mappings are provided in, for example, the XML Schema specification, but not in XHTML. For example, at the moment, it is not possible to refer to (for example) title, because the QName for title (the element) and title (the attribute) both come out to be the same URI in RDF:- http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtmltitle As XHTML is such a widespread and useful language, with well defined semantics, I think it would be of great benefit to all concerned to provide proper URIs. For example, you could use a system such as:- XHTMLNs "#" TYPE "." NAME e.g. for <title>:- http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml#element.title for title="" http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml#attribute.title And so on for link types etc. Thanks for your time and consideration, -- Kindest Regards, Sean B.
