> I have been disturbed by the amount of confusion surrounding the XML > Namespaces Recommendation. So I have written a document This was really good but I have some questions that have been nagging me for ages (sorry if they are dumb questions). Imagine A, B, C, D and E and all users of some XML data. A and B exchange data and agree to use A's namespace and that "<an:t>title</an:t>" is a book title (among other things). Elsewhere, C and D also exchange data and agree to use D's namespace and that "<dn:t>title</dn:t>" is a book title. 1. E comes along and wants to create data and exchange data with A, B, C and D. What does E use? If E creates a new NS "<en:t>title</en:t>" then A, B, C and D have to update there procedures to cater for this? 2. Is there going to be (or is there) a registry for URI and tags so that this can be avoided? 3. Is there some way to "alias" names so that you can say that "an:t", "dn:t" and "en:t" are all the same (or is this up to the application)? 4. How do you validate a document that may contain tag's and attributes that are a mixture of different DTD's? It's easy when they have the same content model but what if "an:t" and "dn:t" are containers and have completely different content models? Cheers, xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
