QNames are Evil
Saturday, 6 December 2003
How’s this analogy:
Putting QNames into your XML content is like using TCP packets as delimiters in an application protocol.
Both can be technically done, but they force an awareness of the special problems they bring up in software layers and intermediaries that could otherwise function in a generic fashion.
Anybody got a better one?
