This is an aspect of namespaces that I've always been fuzzy on: if the default namespace is not xi (in this example), is an unqualified href attribute in the xi name space or is it in the default name space? Does it matter? If namespaces were intended to enable semantic distinctions, then I would think it would matter. But since namespaces are just for name disambiguation, I guess it doesn't matter that an attribute important to xinclude semantics is in the default name space--the name is still unambiguous. Or said another way: if the default namespace for the include element is xi, then I would not expect to qualify the attribute, but if the default namespace is not xi, I would expect to have to qualify it. But I guess the ATTLIST declaration shown in the spec makes it clear that the href attribute *cannot* be qualified. Not sure why I thought they should be qualified. Cheers, E. -- W.
