RE: Change namespace of xml:id

Hi Daniel,

Yes it does.  The first definition in the recommendation defines
a namespace to be a collection of names identified by a URI.
If you change the collection of names, you change the namespace.
Since the meaning of 'identify' is fairly clear, a different URI must
be used to 'identify' the new collection.

As pointed out to Chris, the meaning of reserved may be clear, and
I second your "Amen", but you have not looked at what is reserved
because otherwise you wouldn't think it substantiates your point.
