Hi, Would it be desirable to further define keywords such that it allows a special kind of namespacing.
* This could allow for more efficient (for the user) and targeted navigation over large, nested collections. * It would allow for mixing related data that might need to be treated in different ways. * It could provide the building blocks for a collection transformation language For example: :keyword or :nil:keyword - defines a keyword in a null namespace -- keeps backward compatibility -- equivalent to the XML element <foo/> (no namepsace defined) ::keyword - defines a namespaced keyword in a default namespace -- equivalent to the XML element <foo xmlns="http://some/namespace"/> :myns:keyword - defines a namespaced keyword in a named namespace -- equivalent to the XML element <foo xmlns:myns="http://some/namespace "/> Perhaps a requirement for this type of thing would be that the namespaces need to be declared on the root element of the (nested) collection. what do you think? best, -Rob --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
