Name

xml:attribute

Synopsis

xml:attribute= existing-attribute replacement-attribute “

Description

The xml:attribute attribute allows you to remap attributes to prevent conflict with other potential uses of XLink attributes. For example:

<person title="Reverend" title-abbr="Rev." 
  given="Kirby" family="Hensley" 
  href="http://www.ulc.org/"
  link-title="Universal Life Church"
  xml:attributes="title link-title"/>

In this example, since the title attribute is already taken, the xml:attributes attribute remaps it to use link-title instead.

See Section 1.5 for more information on attribute remapping. (Note that this attribute may change to xlink:attribute in the future.)
