It might be reasonable for an application to do this, but it wouldn't be reasonable for an XML data creator to count on this working, because xml:space is defined in the XML 1.0 spec which only knows about the magic "xml" prefix, not the namespace-aware meaning that retroactively layered onto it in the namespace rec. Andrew Layman actually suggested *forbidding* the tying of that URI to anything but "xml:" and nearly convinced me that was a good idea. He might well have been right. -Tim
