[Disclaimer: Uche and I don't agree on this issue of namespaced attributes in RDF/XML.] But in any case, a specification level of 'should not' isn't the way to go here. Otherwise, this becomes a "meet you in the marketplace" scenario, where we compete on entirely the wrong issue. Unless rules of engagement are specified (which for another reason can't be done in RDF), 'should not' is an interop rathole - everybody's correct. I'm not sure, but I suspect that this might be an example of an attribute that wants to be an element. Bill de hÓra -- Propylon www.propylon.com
