SGML had CONCUR & SUBDOC... CONCUR for addressing more or less the same problem domain as Namespaces does (going even further: CONCURrent DTD's could be in effect in one document, something even XML Schemas & Namespaces don't really support, or at least in a user-friendly way). With all due respect: Namespaces were really an afterthought for XML, and this clearly shows. Just some memories from an old SGML-buff ... :-) </Steven> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
