Under Simon's interpretation, the "lang" attribute is in the same namespace as the element, to wit, "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml". There is no conflict between this and the "xml:lang" attribute, which is in a separate namespace. The same goes for the "attribute versioning" example. > > <x:y xmlns:x="http://example.com/" x:a="1" a="2" /> This is a different issue: the "a" attribute under Simon's interpretation is in the same namespace as the element -- which is also the same namespace as the "x:a" attribute. Everyone agrees that a namespace is a collection of related names, whether they be for elements or attributes. The whole problem seems to me to be a dispute between those who think names in no namespace belong to no collection and thus should be avoided and those who think names in no namespace are "locally scoped" -- defined in some ineffable way by their parent but not belonging explicitly to the parent's namespace. -- Kian-Tat Lim, ktl@k..., UTF-7: +Z5de+pBU-
