And that brings one back round to the concept of the PUBLIC id. Why shouldn't PUBLIC ids be used in namespace name values? Because they aren't resolvable without the catalog. So? It works for SGML. Oops. You aren't in a new minority anyway. Note, that in a classical PUBLIC id, it has different information in it than in a URI/URL/URN. But that brings up the weirdness: if that information is different, or extensible, would you rather pack it into the local space, or get it by reference. If by reference, wouldn't you want a namespace name to be a URL, or just a name resolved in a local catalog? How would you find it? len -----Original Message----- From: Patrick Stickler [mailto:patrick.stickler@n...] The whole namespace bruhaha is directly due, I think, to overloading the function of namespace URIs.
