Basically, a case-insensitive >declaration declares all case variants of the prefix. The text with the changes you announced would be "The case sensitivity of namespace prefixes in selectors is defined by the mechanism used to declare them". Mechanism A: Namespace prefixes in selectors are case-sensitive. Mechanism B: Namespace prefixes in selectors are case-insensitive. This is a conflict. You are avoiding the problem by speaking of the case-sensitivity of the mechanism, while the draft text speaks of the case-sensitivity of the prefix in the selector. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
