New Namespace

Does the namespace really have to be changed? I have a large quantity 
of documents that use the old namespace, and which would still be 
legal in the new syntax except for the change in namespace URI. This 
includes an entire published book (Processing XML with Java) and 
dozens of seminar and course note collections. The changes in this 
draft do not seem to be so significant as to require a change in the 
namespace URI. I encourage the working group to revert to the 2001 
namespace.
