Hello Mike, I think your statement might be de-emphasising my main point, yes it is true that people misuse colons, and thats a side matter, and I agree that xslt/xpath or whatver will never be extended to handle anything other then well formed xml. The rest of the question is directed at the xslt list as a whole.... I don't see why the actual syntatic construction of xml could not itself be abstracted( instead of angle brackets, why not slashes...etc ) and defined, a sorta schema for base/physical format; maybe this is a route of introducing binary xml....ok yes there are issues all over the place, just a thought. back to my original meaderings; The issue I have is one of performance in a streaming environment, imagine a multi node SOAP server process, There may be at any one time, a few servers talking to each other in the form of generating a HTTP request with xml body or a HTTP response. Another analogous situation would be very long SAX processing. one could introduce possibly <test:test></test:test xmlns:test="urn:test"> at the end of processing...., could force the processing model to wait until all data is gathered, just another thought. In any event I dont see any harm in wanting to handling unknown namespaces, why for instance does an 'error' have to throw if a namespace is unknown, why not assign a temporary unique id and handle it, effectively giving us the hook to handle it. cheers, jim fuller XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
