I'm really reluctant to remind folks about this, but I'm not sure we ever answered it:... What if an external parsed entity uses a prefix not defined in that entity? Possible answers: a) "Mu." Declare this namespace-ill-formed. b) If a declaration exists in the parent document, inherit it. Otherwise, "Mu." Note that there's the question of how inheritance is interpreted. In the Absolutize model, the entity would inherit a namespace computed on the basis of the parent document's context rather than its own. I'm not sure that's wrong -- the same effect occurs if XML Base changes contexts within a single document -- but I find it slightly surprising. ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research
