Subject: RE: [dita] Meeting Minutes 7/06/2004 -- DITA Technical Committee
Agree that support for namespaces is a non-issue. Almost all XML schemas reference namespaces so tool vendors have no choice but to account for their existence in tool solutions.

Supporting namespaces is work for vendors, but it's work that vendors are going to have to do to be up to date and to support schemas and modern uses of XML. So what I meant to say is that adding namespaces to DITA shouldn't make it any harder for a vendor to support DITA than to support any other modern-day XML application. paul
