Jonathan was proposing something like > > - "" has a property called strict-validation-schema whose value is L.dtd > - the nature of L.dtd is that it's a DTD Actually I expect to be able to say any of: "" has a property "DTD" has a property "foo" has a property That is, this name "DTD" or "foo" is a name local to a namespace. We might also make statements about the namespace itself by using the 'blank' localname "" In general I'd like to hold onto some form of the idea that a namespace is some sort of container of names. The properties don't need to be attached directly to the namespace URI itself, rather to URIrefs which start-with the namespaceURI and which correspond to names that are local to the namespace. Just a few corrections for the moment... Jonathan
