Personally, I'd rather see a world with {http://www.sun.com/ns/}purchase {http://www.ibm.com/ns/}purchase {http://www.amazon.com/ns/}purchase than a world with XML Name Registery Search results --------------------------------- XML name: "purchase" Sorry, this element name has already been registered.
