Re: More on namespaces...


xml secondary role
I think I was not being clear.  The use of "primary" and "secondary" were in
terms of the roles played in a given document.  "Primary" indicated the
vocabulary associated to the doctype (e.g. whichever vocabulary the root
element belonged to).  "Secondary" indicated all other vocabularies that
were not the primary vocabulary.  As a result, a given vocabulary could be
in a primary role in one case and in a secondary role in another case.
