That's not a compromise at all it would just break almost all documents that use namespaces. If I read the above right you are saying that <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> ..... <a href="foo.html">xxx</a> should have an undefined meaning as a is in the html namespace and href is unprefixed? Perhaps you meant at the same time to change the rule so that the default namespace applied to attributes. but then you break every instance of <html:a href="foo.html">,,, David _____________________________________________________________________ This message has been checked for all known viruses by Star Internet delivered through the MessageLabs Virus Scanning Service.
