I am considering using namespace prefixes in attribute values. I know that some new W3C Recommendations do this. What I want is attribute values that are globally unique; in my case, name of events. Are there any other solutions I should consider, or is this the best with available technology? <eventListener type="q:eventname" xmlns:q="urn:myevents"> ..do something.. </eventListener> Pros: +Attribute values can be globally unique. Cons: -The XML processor may not provide the namespace prefix to the application; the application will get "q:eventname" but will not be able to find out to what namespace "q" was bound to in the document. Strawman's proposal: What are the disadvantages of, in a DTD or schema, define a "QNAME" attribute type? Thanks, Peter Phone.com xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
