Sounds a useful suggestion. I think it would be particularly useful if it highlighted those parts of the spec which could be implemented/discussed independently of each other (if this is the case). To extract things out of my previous message I'd highlight: - the mechanics of changing prefixes in documents with name collisions (including verifying uniqueness of prefixes - the mechanics of changing prefixes in DTDs when confronted with a given document instance - a beginner's guide to scoping. What it is meant to do. This should include clear examples of scoped documents, their interpretation and their fully expanded form. Maybe JohnCowan's NamespaceFilter will do the latter bit. Personally I work best from examples. Since DonP made the suggestion I suggest that replies are posted to XML-DEV but that DonP collates and summarises them... P.
