Response to: namespaces: we shouldn't be forced to pick them
One mechanism for declaring and/or redeclaring namespaces outside of the XML documents we want to apply them to is through the use of general entities. Ken Holman explains the technique in his Global large-scale stylesheet deployment case study: http://www.idealliance.org/proceedings/xml05/ship/18/Holman-18.HTML#d0e333 The technique was implemented for an extensive stylesheet library and provided the ability to modify the namespace for the entire library by changning one line in the entity file.
