The Namespaces rec is certainly playing games (along the lines of you can look, but you can't touch). And yes, calling a namespace name that is syntactically a URI a string won't make a blind bit of difference to XML as practised. However, when you think about it, such a clarification would just junk any pretence of systems architecture regarding XML Namespaces. We'd be building machinery that by admission relies a coincidence. Now I don't think architecture of any kind should rely on a coincidence, however happy. But the clarification would be an honest admission of guilt at least. Bill de hÓra .. Propylon www.propylon.com
