The fact that namespaces and DTD validation are (at best) imperfectly compatable is certainly an annoyance. But to perform namespace-aware validation you need a namespace-aware validation language, and DTDs just ain't it. Schemas will handle namespace-aware validation. But that can be done without the namespace name being the binding between namespace and schema; the schema spec mentions a number of such techniques. ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM ResearchReceived on Monday, 22 May 2000 10:08:15 UTC
