If there is any reason to inherit xml:space and xml:lang in the first place, you'd want to inherit new "inherited" xml:* attributes for the same reason; depending on how important it is to inherit those, this would require "updating" the algorithm whenever a new xml:* attribute appears. That's undesirable and inheriting some inherited attributes but not all of them is inconsistent, so inheriting xml:lang and xml: space but not others does not really seem a good solution to me. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
