Good Lord!! Namespaces EVERYWHERRRREEE!!!! Not a problem, really, because the XSLT processor will bark at you about undeclared namespaces, and you can just add them to the above declaration list. That is, if you're running the processor on the command line. What's the purpose for the prodigious number of namespaces we use? Can't we find a way to simplify and reduce the number of namespaces? I realized that the write_namespaces...() function would probably be inadequate. What would be handy is a dynamic list (or hash) that is processed at file save time. If you add an object, you add the object's namespace to the hash. Being a hash, duplicates are prevented, although the same namespace could be added many times. Trade-offs, I guess. I just came up with this while poking through some XSLT stuff I'm doing for other stuff. Also, I think we should maintain the XML output format, because it is WAY handy for transforming data to other formats (e.g., HTML for reports, etc.), and easier to write than, say, Scheme (for non-developers to write reports, etc.). > -derek -- Matthew Vanecek perl -e 'print $i=pack(c5,(41*2),sqrt(7056),(unpack(c,H)-2),oct(115),10);' ******************************************************************************** For 93 million miles, there is nothing between the sun and my shadow except me.
