Thank you all for the suggestions you have made to me (many privately) regarding this question. Here is the policy I intend to follow and to recommend: Sometimes you will want to use a character in a name, but that character is not an XML NameChar. In that case, encode it, using a sequence such as "_#xHHHH_" where "HHHH" is a hexadecimal rendition of the Unicode character. For example "Two Words" would encode as "Two_#x0020_Words". Such encoding (and subsequent decoding) is an application function, not part of the XML specification per-se. (This is the closest mapping I could make to using character entities in names.) --Andrew Layman AndrewL@m... xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
