xml-dev - RE: base

["Nikita Ogievetsky" <nogievet@offsight.com>]

Basespace - sounds good.
By the way a little of-topic question:
is there any active xlink-oriented mailing list?

Thanks,

The concept of multiple bases came up during discussions on Base.  At the
time, I characterized your proposal as a proposal for what I called a
"Basespace".  This is very similar to namespaces in the naming and scoping
of identifers.  It's an interesting notion.
