I have a build process that patches xsd files to deal with different interpretations of the ##other namespace between xerces and .net. nobody
understands namespaces consistently.


yes and within the XML community the problems (with namespace interpretation) 
that xerces and .net have with namespaces are well known.

are they? I didnt know till it was too late


re XSD, i use it as a final format..generating it from RelaxNG/Schematron/XSLT 
when needed, otherwise i dont touch the stuff.

yes, possibly the best move.


I think Ant's approach to namespaces is realistic enough....though once u start 
embedding Ant markup within other XML composite documents things can get 
tricky...of course we can just transform to that last step then let Ant 
process...
Ant of course rejects consuming anything other then what it expects....which 
gets irksome after awhile but not really an issue.


I suppose there is nothing to stop us having a specific handler for unknown XML elements in targets or in project, with the default handler saying "this is unknown", but other configs handling it differently. Maybe it could be per-namespace instead, so if you want to add an RDF handler, that is your perogative. But we dont want to be a generic XML thing like cocoon, for that is their job.
