I'm suggesting something more explicit than the current mash of options W3C XML Schema provides, and making it clear that we are only dealing with the attributes case left anomalous by Namespaces in XML. I'm not at all happy with W3C XML Schema's choice of adding yet more scoping complexity to the existing situation. I can cope with attributes, since, after all, they're in the same tag as the start of the element, and maintaining state for that is pretty hard to avoid. Implied semantics are horrible, but in this case (unlike elements) there are really no semantics. You might remember last year's discussion of these issue at about the same time last year, and the code I wrote because I found the WXS approach so deeply flawed: <http://simonstl.com/projects/namespace/> (It was Aaron's presentation at least year's OSCON which made me think hard about a lot of this. Disagreement can be very helpful stuff.) -- Simon St.Laurent Ring around the content, a pocket full of brackets Errors, errors, all fall down! http://simonstl.com
