/ "Rick Jelliffe" <ricko@topologi.com> was heard to say: | I have found another case of namespaces being declared outside the xmlns | framework, which would go against the Qnames policy currently being flagpoled. I think the example of the xmlns() scheme in XPointer is a bit of a red herring. It exists because XPointers can occur in contexts outside of an XML document (like in your browser's address bar) where there are no in-scope namespaces. XPointers in a document do use the in-scope namespaces. One could also use the xmlns() scheme in those pointers (because they aren't forbidden), but it's never necessary to do so.
