Since you don't take issue with my comments about the inappropriateness of the designation "XSL namespace" (meaning the XSL-FO namespace) and the incongruity of using "xsl" as the indicative prefix for XSLT elements, may I take it that you accept my arguments on those points? If you accept those arguments about the lack of clarity and consistency can you comment on the likelihood that the XSL WG will make progress on that matter? By addressing only one point you move the discussion away from the combination of ambiguity and inconsistency in the XSLT 1.1 WD and the XSL-FO (aka "XSL") CR. It is the combination of ambiguity and inconsistency in the W3C documents on "XSL" which causes problems for those not in the inner circle. I can routinely "translate" which meaning of "XSL" I hope/know is being used in a particular context. For beginners, this is a nightmare, and an avoidable one too. I am surprised that you can't see the problem with the two statements. Within one sentence in the XSLT 1.1 WD you switch from one meaning of "XSL" to another. I know what you mean, and that you have switched meanings but can I ask you to pause and consider the effect of such semantic gymnastics within a single sentence for those outside the cogniscenti? Such semantic gymnastics if not corrected will, quite avoidably, potentially lead us to semantic spaghetti rather than a Semantic Web. Regards Andrew Watt
