I consider the mis-use of http: URLs for denoting non-web-accessible
resources of any kind (namespaces included) to be the single greatest
cause of confusion both on the Web and the Semantic Web.
Unfortunately, there are still alot of folks who think that HTTP
and http: URLs constitute the entire scope of the Web (or at least,
the only interesting part of it)...
