Subject: XSLT namespace URI change From: Edd Dumbill <edd@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 11 Oct 1999 19:10:42 +0000 |
I note the change in the XSLT namespace URI from http://www.w3.org/XSL/Transform/1.0 to http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform I'm glad to see the version number go into an attribute, and I note that the PR says that 1999 indicates the year the W3C allotted the namespace <http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#xslt-namespace>. Does this also mean that http://www.w3.org/2000/XSL/Transform is a valid and completely distinct namespace? Or does it imply there is a connection between all the namespaces http://www.w3.org/*/XSL/Transform? If version 1.1 is released in 2000 will the namespace URI change, or will XSLT's namespace URI retain 1999 forever? Apart from preserving a bit of history, does having the year in the namespace serve a function? Is this pattern going to be made explicit in a recommendation for all namespace URIs, or is it merely a suggestion? Thanks for any explanations, and sorry if I've missed a previous explanation of this somewhere. cheers Edd -- Edd Dumbill ------/ a new media consultant, writer & technologist /-- | Publishing Editor, xmlhack.com <http://xmlhack.com> | Director, Useful Information Company <http://usefulinc.com> : Internet Director, Pharmalicensing <http://pharmalicensing.com> : UK voice/msg: +44 702-093-6870 UK fax: +44 870-164-0230 XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
