The main problem with prefixes is that the meaning of prefixes is not preserved when a code fragment is pasted elsewhere, so that prefixed names can end up meaningless or having an entirely different meaning from what the author had intended. A similar problem arises with DTD entities (indeed, DTD entities could be used instead of prefixes). HTH, Chris
