<too-late-now> Discussing this article with a friend of mind left us with a huge question: Why didn't XML pursue a namespace solution more like Java packages. There has to be a good reason-- maybe it is that packages can be a pain. It has always seemed easier to get my head around a "package" (think UPS box full of items) instead of a "namespace". In addition to this, people shouldn't expect to resolve a package name per se, whereas a URL is begging to be resolved. It does seem to simplify the idea of separating vocabularies nicely... </too-late-now> Any insights? Jeff Rafter Defined Systems http://www.defined.net XML Development and Developer Web Hosting
