>I think one issue with your proposal is that the namespace in general is an >infinite set of names. Sorry, but that is exactly what the namespace spec defines. A namespace defines a _space_ which names can be drawn from, not the content of that space, its meaning or anything else. If you want a finite dictionary, or semantic bindings, or anything else constraining what the names are and how they're interpreted, you need to build some higher-level concept on top of Namespaces. Namespaces really are pretty close to being pure syntax. Adding semantics to them is someone else's problem, and is NOT part of the question currently on the table. ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research
