I should have said "either literal or both". There can be no question of *not* providing access to the literal value; if nothing else, DOM Level 1 requires it, since Level 1 has no concept of namespaces. > XPath is [in my naive perspective] about how to trace and write out paths > whithin XML document structures.

This seems a strained distinction to me, given that the base URI is an infoset property, and that RFC 2396 resolution is a purely syntactic operation. -- John Cowan cowan@ccil.org Yes, I know the message date is bogus. I can't help it. --me, on far too many occasions
