>>> What would we lose if attributes were not namespaced? >> >> xsi:type and its friends? XSD 1.0 had xsi:type because its bogus models of what people used attributes for was not sustainable. XSD 1.1 fixes this a little by allowing selection of type by a wider range of markup. So I would expect that xsi:type will wither on the vine over the next decade. I don't know that it is a show-stopper, because there is a better workaround. (The rub being that where companies don't switch to the latest version of the XSD 1.1 spec, they will be more stuck with xsi:type. And this rub exists largely because XSD 1.0 is so monolithic that implementers are loath to re-visit their implementations.) Cheers Rick
