By putting the attribute in the general and predefined namespace http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace it can be used by any XML
application (e.g. XHTML, SVG) without any further effort and without any
danger of colliding with attributes in no namespace a particular XML
application might want to define.

Since it is useful to have a means of describing language in the core
of XML.
It only looks silly from an (X)HTML-centric viewpoint.

XHTML 1.0 has both!
XML has always had xml:lang, XHTML gets it because it's XML.

For example, Mozilla 1.7 recognizes the lang attribute

but it does not recognize the xml:lang attribute.

xml:lang is not a 'new' attribute. It's part of the XML1.0 specification
which predates XHTML. XHTML1.0 tries to be compatible with HTML4.01 and
supports the lang attributes and you should use both, if you want to be
compatiable with tag-soup parsers. But by being XML it also inherited
xml:lang. Using xml:lang has the advantage that this is (or could be)
recognized by any XML processing tool that needs this information (e.g.
spellcheckers) but does not have knowledge of the XHTML semantics (so it
does not understand 'lang').

Hi All,
I am toying with the idea of making a GreaseMonkey script, or similar
(depending on how far out of my comfort zone I am willing to venture),
which would translate a page automatically.
In order to trigger that script and pass the correct variable to the
translator, I am looking for a way to extract certain details from the
current page.

Hello,
I've written a webservice that returns an array. The output of the
webservice has to be consumed by a classic asp application.
As classic asp can't read the returned array I want the webservice to
return a xml document instead of the array.
Can anyone tell me how I can output the array as a xml document?

Dear Group
I wonder if I do something wrong and whether this is possible at all.
Any hint is greatly appreciated.
I have a XML file bound to a Treeview. The treenodes Text/Value
properties bind and populate fine if I set them to an attribute of the
XML tag. What I would like to do however is setting my nodes text and
value property to text that is between the XML tags. Example:

Hello All.
There is an automatic way to save just the changes of a xml file?
For example, if add several nodes, delete some and change the value or
attribute of another. Actually, on saving it, the Save( ) method will
serialize the entire file again. The doubt is if this behaviour can be
changed, making the parser keep the file and saving only the changes.
I have a customer asking for it, but I guess it is not possible, due to XML

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
