RE: QNames

[Michael Fitzgerald <mike@wyeast.net>]

This was discussed momentarily. I think James didn't like it. As you say, we
deferred QNames overall until next time. -Mike

Mike,

Did this get decided today?  I like what you have here.

I recall we are on to discuss this next week....

Thanks, DW.

BTW: I am suggesting this follow on to Murata-san's original proxy scheme
IN
ADDITION to QNames, not as a complete replacement. In that spirit, it give
people the option of avoiding using QNames if they want. I believe that
having that extra option will make some people VERY happy. -Mike

I think Makoto's proxy idea is very appealing. Rather than introducing a
new
concept, though, couldn't we just use the prefix as the proxy name and then
just overload the ns attribute? Consider:

<grammar xmlns:e="http://www.example.com/e" proxy="yes">
<start>
<element name="addressBook" ns="e">
  <zeroOrMore>
    <element name="card" ns="e">
      <element name="name" ns="e">
        <text/>
      </element>
      <element name="email" ns="e" >
        <text/>
      </element>
    </element>
  </zeroOrMore>
</element>
</start>
</grammmar>
