Er, I thought that canonical XML required that namespace names be declared only at the first point they're used. Am I wrong? If I'm right, it's a big problem; it means you can't have a qname in an attribute value unless that namespace has already been used in a containing element or one of its attributes. So I'm probably wrong. Rich? -Tim
