Actually, I guess my question applies to attributes as well. For instance, clearly once you specify the encodingStyle attribute, all sub-elements implicitly use that encodingStyle as well unless otherwise specified, correct? So is this the general case for attributes and element namespaces? Sorry if this is obvious stuff. For some reason I've chosen to confuse myself today. -----Original Message----- From: Robert Englander <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sun, 22 Jul 2001 13:35:32 -0400 Subject: XML namespace question > > I have a quick XML namespace question: > > Does a sub element of a namespace qualified element inherit > the namespace from its parent? > > e.g. > > <X:parent xmlns:X="MyNamespace"> > <child>data</child> > </X:parent> > > Is element child considered to be implicitly qualified by > namespace X(MyNamespace)? or is it considered to have > no namespace qualification? > > Thanks in advance. > > >
