Ludger, you may want to research the use of identifiers, system and public, in DOCTYPEs. For example, <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> In a legal sense, the PUBLIC id signifies a vested authority over a namespace. Such an authority has rights to the correct interpretation of names in that namespace. That is somewhat old school these days, but nonetheless a useful way to inform XML implementors with regards to semantics. The case of a mixed namespace document is murkier because when DOCTYPEs were invented, mixed namespaces were not supported. In one sense, an aggregate is a snapshot of a network of components so all the 'who gets to interpret correctly' issues begin again. I like to think of that as Walter Perry in situ. BTW, Michael: we'll keep Cuba safe at least until after Charles and Camilla Windsor complete their job interviews with the HR people at the White House, and make their decision about accepting possible job offers to take over as the new American royals. len
