James Anderson wrote (with regard to declaring namespaces in the DTD): > one will, in any case, need to establish scoping rules for the bindings That's a very insightful comment, and right on target about DTDs. But back to an earlier point a poster made about SGML-conformance (DTDs, etc.) being the thing that is killing XML: If it weren't for the promise of backwards compatibility with SGML/HTML, XML could not have gathered the initial following that it did. (Don't get me wrong; our shop is still largely an SGML shop. I'll be very sad if XML loses these connections. But I think that's where we are headed. Many people who are entering the XML community have never heard of SGML, and resent being encumbered it.) -- Richard Goerwitz PGP key fingerprint: C1 3E F4 23 7C 33 51 8D 3B 88 53 57 56 0D 38 A0 For more info (mail, phone, fax no.): finger richard@g... xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
