[james anderson] > > So what does one call this 'set of names which has the name "", but which one can for historical reasons not call a namespace'? In many (maybe most) programming languages there is a difference between an empty string and a null object. In the Python xml sig we ended up going with the None object for that no-namespace case, on the grounds that that the empty string could in fact be taken for a namespace that accidentally just happened to be zero characters long, while the Rec said "no namespace". (It's possible that all the code has not been converted over yet, but bit by bit). Cheers, Tom P
