I thought I knew what a namespace was ... but now I think perhaps I don't. Suppose that I create a DTD (BookCatalogue.dtd). In this DTD I define some elements, attributes, entities, etc. I define the relationships between the elements, attributes, etc. I place BookCatalogue.dtd in a directory: file://localhost/xml-course/xml-part1/BookCatalogue.dtd Is this a namespace? That is, is the file itself (BookCatalogue.dtd) a namespace? In all the examples that I see in the namespace spec they don't refer to a specific file. Instead, they refer to "some place", such as: http://www.w3.org/TR/HTML/ So, perhaps the "directory" that BookCatalogue.dtd resides in is the namespace? i.e., file://localhost/xml-course/xml-part1/ I thought I knew the way, now I don't. Help me find my way again. /Roger xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
