Was there a clear defense of the assertion that this weak inequality was a reasonable characteristic for namespace identities, and thus that using URIs for this purpose really made sense in the first place? I think there _is_ an expectation that we can clearly distinguish namespace inequality as well as equality. Consider XSLT processing; elements belonging to XSLT's namespace are commands, those which don't are considered literal content. It feels rather strange to be considering recasting this as "those we are/aren't sure of". ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research
