I am assuming you committed your patch because you did not see a problem. Is it just that expat does not validate the namespace but this could be a problem with some other XML parser? Given that, what does it mean for your change, and possibly Paul's branch? Should you go back to using the dash? -- Thanks Mark Phippard http://markphip.blogspot.com/
