This is not necessarily more verbose. I've often seen the use of entities (e.g. &nml; ) in XML attributes to do just that. Only problem is that often XML producers don't automatically include such a conversion. I would prefer indeed option 3 or 2. Using a separate namespace for defining those relations does make sense. I have no problem in defining it that way. Jeroen.
