This is a bit like the automatic (or unobtrusive) namespace proposals i made, in which this behaviour would be defined by a simple language (itself not using namespaces). That proposal was cleverly derailed by others proposing that the namespace definition needed to use namespaces, guaranteeing that the proposal would fail. > > <?DSDL-9 bind-ns-to-prefix ns-iri="..." prefix="..."?> > > to *rename* elements into a canonical form 'canonical-ns:name' The architectural forms approach of mapping terms in an SGML vocabulary to some other vocabulary, used in both Author/Editor and SoftQuad Panorama, was much better than the Xlink-style nonsense of foisting fixed namespaced names on people - but that argument got nowhere and went round in circles trying to get nowhere, unfortunately. The actual PI approach, as Henry points out, had a number of technical problems with it that couldn't really be resolved in the short time we were given to come up with XML namespaces. -- Liam Quin, https://www.delightfulcomputing.com/ Available for XML/Document/Information Architecture/XSLT/ XSL/XQuery/Web/Text Processing/A11Y training, work & consulting.
