> Myth #4: Unprefixed attribute names are in XML namespaces > http://www.xml.com/pub/2000/03/08/namespaces/myth1.html Ronald Bourret does an excellent job of debunking those that claim that the way they handle namespaces, particularly with respect to unqualified attribute names, conforms to the spec. In other words, no one can claim to conform to the spec, because the spec is so wishy-washy and non-committal that multiple interpretations are valid. Unfortunately, he does not answer the most important question: WHAT SHOULD WE DO!?!? I found that many of his assertions were based on assumptions which don't apply to RDF. For example, "Fortunately, the resolution of this myth [#4] is unimportant, as it does not affect how documents that use XML namespaces are written or how namespace-aware applications process unprefixed attribute names." Yeah, right! Perry
