Surely that's not the point -- the point for interop is simply that any given application knows the names of the schemes it implements. Reasonable guarantees of uniqueness of scheme names, such as that provided by using URIs via QNames, are all that's required to prevent mistakes here. No-one _ever_ claimed that using QNames would mean that a general-purpose XPointer processor would be able to look up the scheme name and find some operationalisable description of scheme semantics. ht -- Henry S.
