[MJG] Because, by inspection, markup languages tend to use all qualified elements whereas data reps tend to not do so.

[MJG] For the record, I was one of the proponents of keeping elementFormDefault='unqualified' as the default. You might call it a pitfall for novice authors, I call it a pedagogical tool ;-) ;-) > > Do you admit that the default value of elementFormDefault is a > controversial topic? [MJG] Doubtless, otherwise we would not be having this conversation... Regards Martin Gudgin DevelopMentor
