The structural or textual (you say "spatial", why?) region *is* clear; it's the scope of the element. Which leaves me with the word I didn't understand before; what do you mean by the "extent" of namespace/prefix binding? Are you arguing that we should write temporal dependency into the spec, i.e. say that <x xmlns:foo="http://bar"> means that "foo" is bound to "http://bar" and that that binding lasts until the end of the universe? Or until 31.82 seconds have passed? Obviously I'm grasping at straws. -Tim xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
