I would welcome a more thorough revision, however I have only asked for,
in effect, the addition of text such as "Namespace constraint: Namespace
name syntax: In a namespace declaration the normalized attribute value
must be a URI reference as defined in STD66." That already was a compro-
mise, and telling me nine weeks after I raised the issue that the group
cannot do this because it is in a hurry is not acceptable to me. Please
refer to my preceding messages why I am requesting this change.
