As I've said before, 1. the only normative definitions of XML, and of Namespaces, operate almost completely at a syntactic level. 2. I've been in software for 20 years and I've seen lots of interoperable cross-platform syntax and very rarely an interoperable cross-platform data structure or API. Obviously, once you're dealing with some XML inside of a program, you think in terms of the structure. But XML's interoperability is strongly linked to the fact that its definition is syntactic. -Tim
