It'd be great to have more detail and scenario on NSResolver. It appears
to allow elements within the document to have different prefixes than
things in the style sheet. For example if we map html as the prefix for
XHTML in our document then we’d write it like:
<html:table><html:tr><html:td></html:td></html:tr></html:table>
But then we can write a selector such as:
“h|table > h|tr > h|td”
With a NSResolver that maps h to the same namespace as the html in the
primary document. This seems potentially confusing.
Hmm. This seems blindingly obvious to me, as something that if anyone ever
forces me to hand-code I automatically do. This is how namespaces work in
general. Admittedly, if you are sharing code snippets amongst people who
have no shared understanding and are not really aware of what namespace
prefixes provide (a shorthand for a simple URI-based disambiguation
scheme), then using this feature can be confusing. I don't see that as a
reason to disallow the use case of simplifying my half of some code, since
there is no obvious technical problem here.
