There is also a precedent for this in XSLT 1.0: the result-prefix and stylesheet-prefix attributes on xsl:namespace-alias and the extension-element-prefixes attribute on xsl:stylesheet are using prefixes to refer to namespaces in exactly the same way. In these cases, as with implements-prefix (and as with element and attribute QNames), the prefix has no function other than to serve as a place holder for the namespace URI. I see the point you're making here, but I don't think it's strong enough to justify implements-prefix="d" instead of implements="http://www.somehwere.com" on xsl:script. The cases you mention have always confused me precisely because they're using prefixes where you'd naturally expect them to be using URIs. That mistake may not be fixable at this point, but let's not propagate it into new elements. If you need to associate something with a namespace, you should use the URI, not the prefix. -- +-----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+ | Elliotte Rusty Harold | elharo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | Writer/Programmer | +-----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+ | The XML Bible (IDG Books, 1999) | | http://metalab.unc.edu/xml/books/bible/ | | http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0764532367/cafeaulaitA/ | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+ | Read Cafe au Lait for Java News: http://metalab.unc.edu/javafaq/ | | Read Cafe con Leche for XML News: http://metalab.unc.edu/xml/ | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
