Looks like namespaces might have serious problems with XSL. There are also some problems with DOM also which remains to be investigated (i.e. adding and moving nodes across namespaces). Current situation is very troubling to me. We have all taken XML namespace for granted as the obvious solution to name conflict problems. I think the question that must be answered first is: which should have the 'right-of-way'? XSL or namespace? DOM or namespace? Does 'right-of-way' depend on finalization schedules? It sure feels like a game of 'chicken'... Best, Don Park xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
