In searching for appropriate namespaces for DTDs one has to latch onto some form of "organisation". I can see the attraction of this for - say - CML (Chemical Markup Language) until perhaps a learned society or other org takes over this role. > > or something like that.

I support this. There clearly needs to be some filtering of what can be put there and if XML-DEV can help with this we'd be very happy. >Although in fact neither xml.org nor xml.com currently corresponds to >any actual company or organisation, and both would have been >appropriate choices, I think that on balance an *.org domain gives a >greater _appearance_ of neutrality than a *.com domain, and even the >mere appearance of neutrality is essential in a highly-politicised >climate like the Java world: as a result, I propose that the Java >implementation of SAX use the package "org.xml.sax": I agree. There is an attraction in having something that is obviously non-aligned. And there is always the possibility of more formal support later. P.
