An XML Namespaces Alternative...

[keshlam@xxxxxxxxxx]

I need to spend more time reading this, and the reply probably belongs in a
Namespace-specific or SAX-specific discussion, but one quick nitpick:

>SAX for example is not namespace aware

That should read "SAX 1.0 is not namespace aware". There is always the
option of releasing a SAX 1.1 to fix that. That's why specs carry version
numbers... and why some specs include a call that reports the version
number currently implemented.

(Sax needs an update anyway, IMO, to add an event for comments. DOM is a
good random-access representation of XML, and SAX is a good streaming
representation. Both can stand further polishing.)
