When namespaces first came to be, the examples were for things like dropping SVG into the middle of an HTML page, including MathML into X3D, etc. Do many browsers really enable namespace integration like that? Well, sure, that's what IE does by combining a CSS declaration for the behavior with the namespace. .Net enables their ASP web browser controls, VML etc. like that, in the instance. Yet I don't find schemas for these perhaps because the schema would document the object framework. But yes, in terms of actually sharing data types across communities of interest, the communities aren't that interested. From the perspective of the legendary lone schema hacker, it's easier to include these the old fashioned way: entities. Where I think this might be insufficient is testing contract based requirements that point to an ROA specifying particular schemas, ie, the sort of thing we get in government contract work. len From: Ronald Bourret [mailto:rpbourret@r...] Yes. I've seen it in at least one other organization as well. My point is that it hasn't crossed schema boundaries and become universal in the way people thought it might. (There might very well be a good reason for this. For example, given the potential complexity of addresses, somebody designing for a local market might be making a very good design decision to ignore all that complexity and simply encode the address schema that fits their locale.)
