RE: [xml-dev] Symbol Grounding and Running Code: Is XML Really E xtensible?
Isn't that why some have suggested dereferencing the namespace 
to RDF or RDDL documents?  In other words, there are those 
pursuing solutions to this.  The fact that the name might 
serve a dual role (lexical disambiguation and named 
location) seems to work.  Why not?

From: james anderson [mailto:]

naming the set of symbols is meaningless. one has to name the 
combinations. by which i do not mean the sequencing, dominance, and 
lexical constraints one can express in a document definition.

a system which a-priori names the combinations according to the name 
used to disambiguate one of the respective lexical tokens is going to 
be a dead end.

what does one do with versions? with variations in authority? what does 
one call it when it's a soap wrapper only, and a particular payload 
only, and in combination only? etc.
