I agree, but at this point I’m just implementing to the specs.

That must be a WSDL thing. AFAIK the Namespaces spec
doesn’t provide for
namespaces in attribute values. But I haven’t read the
whole spec, and
it’s been a while since I’ve read any of it. I do remember
a recurring
debate about whether it’s a good idea to design language
specs that call
for namespaces in attribute values.

W3C appears to have sanctioned the practice. Personally, I
think the idea is
appalling.

Didn’t mean to suggest otherwise. My sympathies :slight_smile:
