Absolutely correct -- what I mean by "light-weight" processing is
processing a document without reference to an external schema.

Namespaces do allow this, even though namespace processing itself is
non-trivial; I'd suggest that any name-mapping scheme should do the
same.  Simon's suggestion, as I recall, was to do the schema
processing upstream (perhaps on the server side).


All the best,
