A quiet day on xml-dev, eh?
Here are a few places to go:
A presentation by Simon St. Laurent:
http://www.simonstl.com/articles/namespaces/index.html
A thread on xml-dev:
http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/200108/msg01286.html
By value, I assume that you mean a namespace name, which takes the form of a
URI. What you plan to do is certainly legal, if not common. Using namespaces
"correctly" is a matter of some lengthy discussion on this list. If you are
writing the schemas as well, or have control over them, there are other
approaches you can take to avoid namespaces altogether, which some people
prefer. The intent of namespaces was, mainly, to avoid namespace collision
when two or more foreign namespaces bump into each other during processing.
Maybe there have been more collisions over the philosophy of the use of
namespaces than in their actual use!
Now back to our regularly scheduled Holiday....%^) Have a good one.
