Granted. But Peter apparently says that even though the document is well-formed (declared proper xsi NS prefix), Ant might still refuse it... I'm not sure whether it's a valid behavior as far as pure XML processing is concerned. xsi:schemaLocation is just one example, there are other XML technologies which use namespace'd XML attributes, like XInclude, XLink, etc... Ant not supporting any of these might be problematic!?!? --DD --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
