The only time that qnames should ever be used in content is while describing XML tree manipulation actions for an XML parser. Use of qnames for anything other than that is extremely poor design because they don't have a defined mapping outside of XML parsing. Qnames in attributes should be explicitly forbidden by the W3C outside of stylesheets and XSLT. Use URIs. If you need short names, then define short URIs or a single base URI that encompasses all of those naming schemes using relative identifiers. ....Roy
