The text you proposed defines that the case-sensitivity depends on the declaration mechanism. Daniel is asking: what if there are multiple mechanisms? The proposed text does not say there can only be a single mechanism, and I think it is reasonable for there to be multiple ones in some environments. This problem would be avoided by specifying that prefixes that differ only in case may be treated differently, and that other specifications are responsible to define how to find the namespace name for a prefix (rather than defining whether the prefix is case-sensitive). That was my initial suggestion in this thread. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
