OK, let me try to summarize your answers: Peter says - letting the user chose the URI may create problems if we want to add implicit meaning to URIs in the future. I think the same problem will arise if we let antlib writers chose the URI so we need to solve it differently. We could reserve all schema names starting with ant for internal use and prohibit anybody from using it, for example. Conor and Costin - that's how you normally do it in the XML namespace context. Well, true. That doesn't necessarily mean it was a good idea 8-) Conor and Costin - if you read the build file and URIs are fixed you'll know which antlib is used. Well, that makes sense to me, thanks, the piece I was missing. Stefan
