Namespace Question

Mon Mar 29 13:25:55 BST 1999

Hi,

For a short example regarding namespaces I have used a variant of Tim's
example in his XML.com article. 

Is it necessary (as I presume) to assign every single attribute as long
as it is not from HTML?

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/html4"
     xmlns:b="http://www.my.server.de/book"
     xmlns:p="http://www.my.server.de/person">
 <head><title>My Booklist</title></head>
 <body>
  <table>
    <tr><td>
<!-- these are the two lines where the attributes in question are: -->
          <b:title b:read="yup" 
             class="important">Dream a little dream of me</b:title></td>
      <td><b:author id="sfreud">
          <p:title>Dr.</p:title>
          <b:firstname>Sigmund</b:firstname>
          <b:surname>Freud</b:surname></b:author></td></tr>
  </table>
 </body>
</html>

Best regards,

Henning Behme
