I think the reason James used {uri}local in preference was that it was quicker to detect (just look at the first character). The uri#local form is more complex to process, especially in the case where the namespace URI itself contains a "#". But the choice of syntax is secondary: the main point is that it would be useful to have a syntax for expanded names that doesn't require prefixes to be declared. Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
