Re: [xml-dev] Namespaces and attributes..

[Evert | Collab <evert@collab.nl>]

Thank you very much for your answer.

Two more question regarding this..

Are there any drawbacks using either attributeFormDefault="unqualified" 
or attributeFormDefault="qualified"...
My preference goes to unqualified, but thats just for 'beauty' reasons..

Is there a chance if some (XSD enabled or not)parsers will run into 
problems with the unqualified method? For example.. they could give the 
attribute the wrong namespace?

Thanks again,
Evert
