In fact lot of standards do take this approach (like XML Encryption/Signature), and they predefine some URIs that "attribute" a "meaning" to the element's content. There was a recent conversation titled "Non-schema approach to web service design: comments?" in this mailing list - I suggested the same approach to solve the problem of conveying some semantics to the data - either at creation time (through XSD fixed attribute values) or at usage time. -rams __________________________________ Yahoo!
