/ "Rick Jelliffe" <ricko@topologi.com> was heard to say:
| I have found another case of namespaces being declared outside the xmlns
| framework, which would go against the Qnames policy currently being flagpoled.
I think the example of the xmlns() scheme in XPointer is a bit of a
red herring. It exists because XPointers can occur in contexts outside
of an XML document (like in your browser's address bar) where there
are no in-scope namespaces.
XPointers in a document do use the in-scope namespaces. One could also
use the xmlns() scheme in those pointers (because they aren't
forbidden), but it's never necessary to do so.
Be seeing you,
norm
