/ "Tim Berners-Lee" <timbl@w3.org> was heard to say:
| The idea of namespaces is that you can use one to define a new
| element to do just what you wanted to do with the PI, but you give
| it a URI name, and allow possibilities such as using existing tools
| for parsing and test for and converting them and so on.
| What is there which stops you using an element?
I have a vocabulary over which I wish to maintain tight control (one
which does not and will not allow optional elements from random
namespaces). But I still want the ability to sometimes stick in little
bits of application-specific info.
Be seeing you,
norm
