I understand how some believe that this may helps clarify the situation by isolating what they see as inconsistent models. But from my POV, doing so always prompts a question; wouldn't a unified model in which XML namespaces, cars, and web pages could all be included, necessarily be more general and powerful? Whether you agree that the model Roy describes is that model or not (I believe it is), do folks believe this is a worthy goal? If so, perhaps we could say something in webarch about that?
