[XML-DEV Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Re: Attributes and namespaces
The motivation for my question was this xsl (partial) example: <xsl:attribute-set name="set2" use-attribute-sets="set3"> <xsl:attribute name="text-decoration">underline</xsl:attribute> </xsl:attribute-set> the "use-attribute-sets" attribute, if it belongs to no namespace cannot then be interpreted as including the "set3" attribute-set within "set2". However, a few of the popular XSL processors go ahead and interpret it as belonging to the xsl namespace, including "set3". The xsl spec mentions specifically that use-attribute-sets is an attribute from the xsl namespace.
