It seems that you're defining identity to mean what the HTTP spec means by
equivalence.  Quite aside from whether this is a good idea or not, if that's
what you mean then you should say it explicitly: "Two namespace names are
identical if they are equivalent in the sense of the HTTP spec."  (Obviously
that sentence needs some cleanup, but you get the idea.)
