Subject: Re: Catalog Requirements
/ Terry Allen <tallen@sonic.net> was heard to say: | If you apply "XML namespaces" to the xmlcat such that it | cannot be used without them, then it's useless to me. And it | would certainly be useless for URI>URI mapping. And I would | probably stop paying attention ... Oh, I don't think it'll come to that. :-) Let's imagine that we come up with something that looks like this: <!DOCTYPE catalog SYSTEM "catalog.dtd"> <catalog> <public publicid="xxx" href="yyy"/> <public publicid="yyy" href="zzz"/> <system systemid="xxx" href="yyy"/> </catalog> There's no reason why a namespace-unaware processor can't use that. What I was suggesting is that if you want to add mapping for XYZ-function that we don't put in the standard, that you do so with a namespace: <!DOCTYPE catalog SYSTEM "catalog.dtd"> <catalog> <public publicid="xxx" href="yyy"/> <public publicid="yyy" href="zzz"/> <system systemid="xxx" href="yyy"/> <ta:xyz foo="xxx" bar="yyy" xmlns:ta="zzz"/> </catalog> Of course, you're free to do that without any namespaces at all, if you're working in a closed system.
