Namespaces 1.1 - Definition of "namespace name"

It seems to me that the definition of the term "namespace name" in the 
Namespaces 1.1 CR is confusing the notion of describing what the namespace name is 
in a given situation with providing a definition for the term "namespace name".

I would suggest the following: [Definition: A namespace name is the IRI which 
identifies a collection of names of element type names, attribute names, 
function names and datatype names which constitute a namespace.] The suggested 
definition assumes that the WG wishes to accomodate the inclusion of datatype 
names and function names as used/suggested in W3C XML Schema, XPath 2.0 and 
elsewhere.
