Sadly the poetic appeal of "the Internet is the sea" caused me to jump too quickly! On closer examination I'm talking about different sets of islands. In the Internet is the sea case, the indivbidual host computers would be the islands. But many computers could be running an XML based application that is an island independent of other XML applications. For example, you could have a music service playlist that was encoded using XML, and that would be an island independent of, say, a payroll application that also used XML. Both applications would send data over the Internet. As potentially any message from the Internet can end up at any application running on a computer I like the idea of having a namespace for a message. Maybe it's just a comfort blanket though! Hope that makes sense. Pete Cordell Codalogic Ltd Interface XML to C++ the easy way using C++ XML data binding to convert XSD schemas to C++ classes.
