Perhaps I exaggerated somewhat. ;-) In any case, I think your conclusion is right: there is some merit to keeping references in one place, particularly for documents of a non-transient nature, but people simply don't do it in most cases. It would be trivial to create tags for "reference aliases" if this is desired, so why do we need another syntax? Anyway, I don't see this changing, so I guess we will have to live with two ways of doing the same thing. Matthew xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
