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.
