Hi Phill, When we considered how to partition our namespace for algorithm and structure purposes, we had two options: [a] http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#foo [b] http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig/foo RDF had already made significant use of "#foo" and this approach makes it much easier to maintain all the URIs with respect to dereferencing in that I don't need a directory, instead, the namespace URI is redirected to the latest version of the spec for which there are actual fragments explaining/corresponding to that URI.
