Hi all,

When an app that works with extensible XML encounters elements
from an unrecognized namespace, how does it know how display and
edit them?  I think it should be able to download and plugin a
user interface at runtime.  The UI could be a collection of
resources made for elements in this namespace, including XSL
stylesheets to transform an element into XHTML and XForms for
creating them.  Would this be something appropriate to include
in an RDDL document?

Also, is there a cannon of purposes and natures?  Can I just
invent my own and if so, should I use the
http://www.rddl.org/purposes base or use my own?

Thanks,
Eric
