It's just that I get a chance to meet lots of new people and maybe feed back some non e-ideas. No suggestion that there would be a RL XML-DEV meeting. I'm keen that this takes place by the same XML-DEV processes. I think it's essential that those who have posted on this subject start exchanging ideas and possible timescales. >complete) proposal for extending SAX 1.0.

I think our experience has shown that it takes longer than it looks (not sure why). But we need something fairly badly, I think. My own effort is rather post-SAX in than I am hoping to consume 'normalised' namespace information and then apply Java classes to it. I shall probably post the current JUMBO fairly shortly - it is based crudely on pre-0802 namespaces (e.g. it doesn't worry about the many2many mapping). One thing that we may have to bear in mind is whether we wish to preserve any of the prefixes for subsequent authoring/transformation. For example, if FOO is declared with a default namespace of http://foo.org do people mind if it gets output as something like NS3:FOO? (where the prefixes run from NS1 to NS10 or whatever). Personally - although I would like it - I think that's too advanced and that prefixes are expanded and meaningless in any transformation. P.
