Addison I was somewhat surprised at: [[ XML Schema requires that the xml namespace be declared and imported before using xml:lang (and other xml namespace values) ]] http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-when-xmllang since in: http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-xml-names-19990114/#ns-using I read: [[ The namespace prefix, unless it is xml or xmlns, must have been declared in a namespace declaration attribute in either the start-tag of the element where the prefix is used or in an an ancestor element (i.e. an element in whose content the prefixed markup occurs). The prefix xml is by definition bound to the namespace name http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace. ]] Please clarify Jeremy Richard Ishida wrote: > > > > After incorporating comments from the review phase, the GEO Working Group has published the article: > > xml:lang in XML document schemas > http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-when-xmllang > By Addison Phillips, Quest Software > > > > The article provides an answer to the question: When should I use xml:lang and when should I define my own element or attribute for passing language values in an XML document schema (DTD)? > > > > > You can find various news filters and RSS feeds relating to the work of the Internationalization Activity at http://www.w3.org/International/log/description > > > > ============ > Richard Ishida > Internationalization Lead > W3C > > http://www.w3.org/People/Ishida/ > http://www.w3.org/International/ > http://people.w3.org/rishida/blog/ > http://www.flickr.com/photos/ishida/ > > >
