RE: Significant W3C Confusion over Namespace Meaning and Policy

It is best if the namespace URI identifies 
the control/policy (choose something for function) for identifying 
versions of the named namespaces.  (thus, the various 
proposals for policy languages such as RDDL).

Pretty much degrees/orders if cybernetic 
systems.  Decide how many levels of that you 
can afford or let metasystem transitions take place 
spontaneously (ie, it just scales out until it becomes 
stable).

What does a Namespace URI identify?

In my opinion, a namespace URI identifies a name space.  That is
circular, of course, but the reason I say that is because there
is a significant difference between a name space (an area in
which names can be defined) and a name set (a set of names that
has been defined).
