So far, so good. But the question is: is it the same relationship between "{http://www.w3.org}a" and "good" or "{http://www.w3.org}good" in: <good {http://www.w3.org}a="1"/> <{http://www.w3.org}good {http://www.w3.org}a="1"/> If it is the same relationship (I suspect it is), there's no such thing as global attributes, and a lot of bandwidth has been wasted debating them - or I misunderstood the debate :-) Share & Enjoy, Oren Ben-Kiki xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
