During the recent conversations on how best to process XML documents containing multiple namespaces and what a document type might mean, I've been fairly dissatisfied with the options we seem to have right now. I believe that namespaces are useful identification information (I wouldn't be writing an Internet-Draft if I didn't think they were useful), but they feel like only one small piece of the puzzle. This morning, while reviewing a chapter on WSDL that mentions Schematron, I started wondering if something like Schematron would make sense for dispatching. Schematron is capable of making descisions based on a much wider range of options than simple namespace-testing, and seems to deal with a lot of the context-sensitivity issue which panic the browser people as well. Any thoughts on this? While I don't expect Schematron itself to do this work, Schematron seems like a great foundation on which to develop such things. -- Simon St.Laurent Ring around the content, a pocket full of brackets Errors, errors, all fall down! http://simonstl.com
