There is no ambiguity as to what an unprefixed name means, but we still have two kinds of names. > What have I missed? If namespaces are collections of names, then a no-namespace name belongs is an orphan -- it belongs to no collection. Alternatively, to use WXS terminology, it is a chameleon -- it can belong to any collection. Do you not recognize that this is a fundamentally different kind of name than one with a namespace, whether defaulted or not? -- Kian-Tat Lim, ktl@k..., UTF-7: +Z5de+pBU-
