I can't quite get both those paragraphs into my head simultaneously, Henry. On the one hand, you're arguing that a schema-aware processor solves the problem (SMOP). On the other, you're saying that for XPath, one of the (if not the) most significant uses of QNames in content, schema-aware processing doesn't help. Or am I missing something?
