I was thinking of the prefix mappings (startPrefixMapping & endPrefixMapping). ...typing to fast without thinking. In-scope namespaces are needed for many applications--including XSLT. I also embed QName values in many of my applications and there I also need in-scope namespaces to resolve those QName values. I still find SAX hard to implement against in terms of "XML Components". It is OK for a parser interface. That's my personal preference though... -- Alex Milowski "The excellence of grammar as a guide is proportional to the paucity of the inflexions, i.e. to the degree of analysis effected by the language considered."
