Aha! That's excellent to know, and very useful! I had indeed been
working under the assumption that DTD-conforming documents were
completely namespace-unaware. Thanks for the information. I really
wish my group would be willing to fund the expense for licenses for the
professional version so that I could use namespaces for everything -
newer XML technologies have really become so much more elegant.

Not a problem, that's why we have this list, and as always I am grateful
for your willingness to support your users.
Take care,
