No they don't. The result of processing them with namespaces may be disjunct name sets, and the result of processing them with RDF may be bifurcated graphs, but what they identify is the same regardless of the processing rules of any technology other than the URI scheme's name assignment algorithm. Any other technology is implicitly licensed to join those sets or those graphs if they wish to spend the effort to do so -- RDF and xmlns specifications merely define the processing rules for minimal conformance, not equivalence of resources. ....Roy
