Currently it's just the simplest convention for associating XML Beans ("XObjects") with element names; and since it's a flat namespace, it can't plug in to XML namespaces. Sometimes when folk say "registry" they mean some global database. I design such things out of systems every chance I get. > Personally I don't yet care.

It's part of > XObjects and needs addressing soonest :-) A draft I wrote up a while ago defined such bindings in XML syntax something like this ... <bindings> <!-- a set of namespace-specific bindings --> <namespace uri="http://www.example.com/xmlbeans/app1"> codebase="xmlbeans.jar" > <element name="reservation"> <bean class="com.example.app1.Reservation"/> <!-- Bean tag actually lets you define properties and so on --> </element> <!-- ... more element bindings in this namespace --> </namespace> <!-- ... more namespace-specfiic bindings --> </bindings> That sketch omits two important features: (a) importing bindngs defined for other namespaces, (b) document-specific bindings, such as for the "default" namespace or embedded in a document. So for example a <?bindings uri="..."?> directive might be used to associate a preferred set of bindings with a document. - Dave xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
