Subject: How do you interpret unqualified children elements and parent namespaces?
Date: 2001-08-08 23:36:34
From: Philip Fennell

Unqualified children are 'bad practice'. In my view, this is a similar situation to the HTML 'bad practice' of omitting the closing tag of an element:

<span>Blah blah


XHTML will 'kill' this bad habit because it's roots are in XML (which doesn't allow it). I wonder why the same logic and quest for consistency/symmetry was not appield to XML Schema?
