[xsl] Non-English languages in XSLT, XML Schema grammars

2008-04-18 12:19:35
Gurus,

I had a question. Why is it that languages like XML Schema, XSLT etc
allow only English in the element and attribute names ?  I am not
referring to the content, but the actual elements and attributes
defined by the grammar.
i.e.  <schema>, <template>, <call-template>, <for-each>, <element>,
<attribute> etc....
Does it make any sense at all to allow these grammars itself to
support writing schemas/xslts etc in local languages.

Any designer tool can then interpret the text as per the character
encoding specified in the document declaration and render it according
to the locale/language preferences.

I know I am missing something very fundamental.
