[MJG] It's just a style thing. Neither way is more right or more wrong :-) When writing a schema by hand I prefer to map the default namespace declaration to http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema for two reasons; 1. It saves me having to type xsd: all the time. As the majority of the stuff I'm typing is XML defintions of schema components when I'm using notepad or emacs it saves me time. 2. I like the explicit mapping of the targetNamespace to a specific prefix. It just seems clearer to me as I know that whenever I see the prefix tns: that I'm refering to something defined in this schema. Please don't feel obligated to follow my preferences, use whatever works for you. Regards Martin Gudgin DevelopMentor
