Nothing -- but the point is that there's nothing preventing me from doing anything else either! Hence, no standard: I can't look at a document and know what its namespaces "mean" in any useful sense. (With DTDs, one expected natural language text in the form of per-element/attribute/... comments.) Perhaps what we need is XML Processing Instructions to associate with the namespace declarations, which identify how the bindings between namespace URIs and semantics are provided ... ;-) Yes, I know that defining "meaning" was not a goal of the XML namespace team. - Dave xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
