I've been going through the XML Namespaces and am wondering if this will
work?


<fgdc xmlns:fgdc="http://www.fgdc.gov/metadata/csdgm/index_html">
...
</fgdc>

Thanks,

Tim Lepczyk

Sadly, no. XML Namespaces 1.1 allows the syntax xmlns:fgdc="", but it
doesn't bind the prefix fgdc to the
namespace-that-dare-not-speak-its-name,
rather it makes the fgdc prefix unavailable for use.
