Well then I guess I don't understand why this wouldn't be perfectly acceptable (is it?): <?xml:namespace ns="Library of Congress" prefix="B" src="http://www.loc.gov/schema/books/"?> If all "ns=" identifies is an authority that is not to be parsed, then why the URI? If it is to make sure that the authority is identified in a standard way, then http://www.loc.gov/ is more appropriate, *without* "schema/". Sorry to nitpick, but heck, what's the standardization process but a long series of group nitpicking sessions? <grin> Roy Tennant On Tue, 31 Mar 1998, Andrew Layman wrote: > There is not necessarily anything at the "other end" of > "http://books.org/schema/".
