Good point -- it was unfair of me to blame the parsers here. It all seems rather obvious now: Q. Why were namespaces invented? A. To disambiguate duplicate names. Q. I have a DTD with duplicate names. How do I disambiguate them? A. Use namespaces. The only inobvious bit is that, because there is no way to declare namespaces in the DTD, you can't declare different default namespaces for different parts of the DTD, which would have solved Elliotte's problem rather neatly. -- Ron Bourret xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
