Hi Evert, attributeFormDefault="unqualified" is the more common choice, so you shouldn't have any parser problems using this. The only time I've seen much of a use case for attributeFormDefault="qualified" is when you're defining a bunch of attributes to be used as "mix-ins" on elements from other namespaces. - Dennis Evert | Collab wrote: > Thank you very much for your answer. > > Two more question regarding this.. > > Are there any drawbacks using either > attributeFormDefault="unqualified" or attributeFormDefault="qualified"... > My preference goes to unqualified, but thats just for 'beauty' reasons.. > > Is there a chance if some (XSD enabled or not)parsers will run into > problems with the unqualified method?
