The edict is in the errata. http://www.w3.org/XML/xml-names-19990114-errata "The use of relative URI references in namespace declarations is deprecated. Future W3C specifications will define no interpretation for them." However it fails to mention that there is at least one relative URI reference that cannot be forbidden: the empty string. Anyway, namespace identifiers are already unaffected by base URIs, so I'm not sure what change would be necessary, other than just saying the strings are syntactically either an empty string or an absolute URI reference. - Mike ____________________________________________________________________________ mike j. brown | xml/xslt: http://skew.org/xml/ denver/boulder, colorado, usa | resume: http://skew.org/~mike/resume/
