It's very important to choose a good one. The prefix *is* irrelevant and I shall try to show how we can avoid some of the earlier coding problems. It's probably quite sufficient to use <X: in the spec - less typing - and we shall also *certainly* need stuff from XHTML (if we are going to document), where I suggest <H:P>, <H:IMG> etc. > >So, any contenders for the URI? members.aol.com/simonstl/xschema/ is quite a >chunk and not likely to be stable, long term. Jon Bosak very kindly let us use xml.org for the SAX spec. I suspect that Jon may regret that :-). It certainly would fit the bill for the ns here. Of course the src document need not be so stable (a PURL could be a useful idea). And, of course, people will need to have local copies behind firewalls. P.
