Regarding flexibility and future maintenance the first version has clear advantages: It requires almost no effort to add more languages, or more genders (if needed) or other attributes to the dictionary if needed, while the second version needs rules how to create new namespace names (and an expanded name for each) and requires updates to the validation schema for each change. I would rank maintainability if XML sources far higher than the number of nodes. Regarding performance of XSLT processors I dont think there is a difference if the correct keys are defined. - Michael -- _______________________________________________________________ Michael M|ller-Hillebrand: Dokumentation Technology Adobe Certified Expert, FrameMaker Consulting and Training, FrameScript, XML/XSL, Unicode Blog [de]: http://cap-studio.de/
