The way I see it, namespaces are the easiest way to prevent this from happening, that is for new applications "x:style" is a better option than "style" (btw: by 'global attribute' do you mean a non namespace prefixed attribute?), for XHTML of course interop with HTML limites the choice of names and AFs are the simplest way to map the attribute "style" -> "html:style".*** Jonathan Borden The Open Healthcare Group http://www.openhealth.org *** using xml:attribute="html:style style" is essentially an AF renamer-att, the only difference being that AFs are defined, i.e. have a defined API whereas xml:attribute needs to be implemented, though this could be done fairly easily via a SAX filter.
