I don't see in what aspect is this syntax better then XML. Anyway in RNC you can already write this as: namespace y = "http://abcd"; [y:floop [ bork = "xyz" ]] The only problem is that above is not complete schema (it doesn't define any real RELAX NG pattern) and it will be refused by Trang. But I suppose that you can very easily extend Trang to deal with such incomplete schemas. Jirka P.S. And of course, if you don't like angle brackets you can turn them into parenthesis and use s-expressions (or SGML with minimalization features as was already suggested) ;-D -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jirka Kosek e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://xmlguru.cz ------------------------------------------------------------------ Professional XML consulting and training services DocBook customization, custom XSLT/XSL-FO document processing ------------------------------------------------------------------ OASIS DocBook TC member, W3C Invited Expert, ISO/JTC1/SC34 member ------------------------------------------------------------------ Want to speak at XML Prague 2007 => http://xmlprague.cz/cfp.html
