Hi Rick,

I need to rush to get somewhere and will have to digest what you've 
written later.  But I wanted to quickly say that I do like the Clark 
form.  I wonder if it can be extended to associate a prefix also.  And 
perhaps allow more than one mapping.

One outcome, [allowing maximum fantasising :) ] would be to have:

<{outer="http://example.com/outer"; ="http://example.com/defaultns"}
   outer:tom>
	<harry/>
</tom>

(The default namespace mapping runs straight into the '=' sign with no 
leading string!)

That nicely scopes things in terms of indicating where the mappings go 
out of scope.

But...

Pete.
