yes, and the final namespaces (sorry for all the intermediate versions)
became:

http://www.w3.org/2006/time#
http://www.w3.org/2006/time-entry#
http://www.w3.org/2006/timezone#
http://www.w3.org/2006/time-us#
http://www.w3.org/2006/time-world#

These really should be explicit in some future version of the WD.

of course :)

And the documents at these namespace names are all served as
Content-Type: application/rdf+xml per the RDF Recommendation.
(and unfortunately most deployed browsers still don't do anything
clever out-of-the-box with that content type.)

The new Semantic Web Deployment Working Group has an
opportunity to cite these namespaces in its work on Vocabulary
Management.
