Postal/Memory/Gettysburgh <x:address/> But the key to doing that is just having a recognizable name for the namespace. What form that name takes isn't relevant, except as far as discouraging accidental reuse goes. The question we've been debating for a month is whether the declaration _contains_ the recognizable name or _refers_to_ that name. The NS spec said the former but said it poorly, the XPath spec misread it and adopted the latter as a result. Is there anyone who feels further debate will help them decide? ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research
