That's the right way to look at it; xmlns is part of the syntax. There *is* a URI associated with it, which you don't need to declare (and indeed mustn't) but you can ignore it for most purposes. The only other prefix that doesn't need to be declared is "xml", as used in xml:space, xml:lang, xml:base. -- Richard -- "Consideration shall be given to the need for as many as 32 characters in some alphabets" - X3.4, 1963. | ||||||
