I think that, in general, it is far more effective to require that a namespace identifier be in a restricted, canonical form, than it is to require all parsers to perform URI-equivalence operations when comparing two namespaces. Much more efficient as well. In other words, simply require that all case-insensitive parts of the URI be lowercase and all non-reserved data characters be unencoded as part of the definition of valid xmlns values. Then all of the parsers can simply perform byte comparison. ....Roy
