Original Message From: "Shlomo Yona" <S.Yona@F...> > In the XML instance that I posted: > * is the document well formed? No - because in your example the end tag name does not match the start tag name. I think in one of the earlier XML versions it says that the end tag name must 'echo' the start tag name which I think is clearer in what the intent it. > Should XML processors be XML-Namespace aware? They needn't be, but it's good if they are. > Say I have a schema, is the well-formedness dependent upon the schema?? No - well formedness is purley an XML issue about whether start tags are matched by end tags, attributes have the right quotation marks and so on. A schema will help determine whether a particular (well-formed) XML instance is 'valid' against that schema. > What I'm asking is whether or not an XML parser should be namespace > aware, and whether or not its capabilities should depend (and how) on a > schema. It is possible to define XML schemas that specify XML documents that don't use namespaces. In that case the XML processor needn't be namespace aware. Although it's unlikely that you'll find a schema aware validating XML processor that is not namespace aware.
