Well, my inclination would be to keep it namespace-free. The nice thing about keeping it namespace-free is that it helps keep processing simple. Namespaces are a simple idea that inject a ridiculous amount of complexity in practice. I'm always happier when I can process XML without namespaces. If anyone does call for XBEL to define a namespace, what is your specific use case that compels it? -- Uche Ogbuji Fourthought, Inc. http://uche.ogbuji.net http://4Suite.org http://fourthought.com Use CSS to display XML - http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/edu/x-dw-x-xmlcss-i.html Introducing the Amara XML Toolkit - http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2005/01/19/amara.html Be humble, not imperial (in design) - http://www.adtmag.com/article.asp?id=10286 UBL 1.0 - http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-think28.html Manage XML collections with XAPI - http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-xapi.html Default and error handling in XSLT lookup tables - http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-tiplook.html Packaging XSLT lookup tables as EXSLT functions - http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-tiplook2.html _______________________________________________ XML-SIG maillist - XML-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/xml-sig
