This Internet-Draft is focused only on providing information about which namespaces are contained in a document, not on recommending dispatch mechanisms for processing namespaces or even arguing that they are a good thing.

Mark Baker has noted that he's working on a draft which addresses some of those issues, and I wish him luck in that much more complicated endeavor. -- Simon St.Laurent Ring around the content, a pocket full of brackets Errors, errors, all fall down! http://simonstl.com
