The XML 1.0 specification said that colon in names was reserved for a future namespace mechanism. XML Namespaces defined that mechanism. That was how it was supposed to work, and that was how it did work. XML isn't a way for you to use some random syntax you've made up and call it standard. If you want to be compatible with XML-based software, you have to follow the specifications. -- Richard
