"In the DTD iff in the instance" is certainly true. The application need not use them if it uses something similar to my namespace prefix remapper. Perhaps I should have an ability to declare a prefix to be attached to unprefixed names, but I don't really see the point of it. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan cowan@c...
