Namespaces are system flags to XML processors. They don't belong in the core. Because names of resources and names of locations of resources in the system are conflated, you can't put them in the core without tieing them directly to the system. That violated platform independence. Not all schemas are equal. This is a flaw in your ideas. Namespaces with HTTP in the definition are considered resolvable. That is the flaw in TimBL's idea. As to whether DTDs belong in the core, without them, the mess of lackadasical well-formedness gets worse. We have years of solid practical experience with DTDs in the core. No valid reason to remove them has been presented. len -----Original Message----- From: Tim Bray [mailto:tbray@t...] Sent: Monday, April 08, 2002 3:38 PM To: xml-dev@l...

I think that the following are good ideas: 1. removing schema languges from the base document syntax 2. putting namespaces in the core. The two are orthogonal. -Tim ----------------------------------------------------------------- The xml-dev list is sponsored by XML.org <http://www.xml.org>, an initiative of OASIS <http://www.oasis-open.org> The list archives are at http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/ To subscribe or unsubscribe from this list use the subscription manager: <http://lists.xml.org/ob/adm.pl>
