Why are they critical for extensibility? The format is completely  
separated from everything else in the world and the only likely extensions  
are going to be made by vendors which could use something similar to

   <vendor-extension>

or

   <widget vendor-extension="">

Using namespaces here just complicates things for authors who want to copy  
and paste lines of codes without the level of indirection given by  
namespaces (where they would have to copy the namespace decleration too).
