The "effective element name" is illustrated in section 6.3 of the proposed spec. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Tucker [mailto:mct@f...] Sent: Wednesday, September 09, 1998 10:52 AM To: xml-dev@i... Subject: Namespace Prefix should be Purely Convienience Jim Amsden <jamsden@u...> jm> The semantics should be on the local name and the namespace name jm> with the prefix being a notional convenience I agree. The prefix should be "purely notational convenience." Which makes me say: "Give us a way to write element tags with namespaces but bypassing the prefix." So, instead of xmlns:FOO="someUniqueString" <FOO:DATE> we could just write <"someUniqueString":FOO> .... and be done with the problem of prefix collisions! I wish Namespaces didn't try to be so helpful! jm> Note that I'm not implying that tag names are the concatenation of the jm> namespace name and the local part of the tag name as specified by jm> WebDAV semantics, only that two elements with the same namespace name jm> and local name are treated as the same element type. If you say "two elements with the same namespace name and local name are treated as the same element type.", isn't this saying that, operationally, the "effective ELEMENT tag name" is the concatenation of the namespace string and the local tag name? xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
