The default namespace for annotations and annotation assertions is currently
the default function namespace. I think this is problematic, especially in
library modules where a common use of the default function namespace is to set
it to the namespace URI of the library module itself.

I think we should adopt a mechanism like we have for prolog options, which use
a single unchanging default namespace, which is reserved for working group use.
I think it would be good if the default namespace for both options and
annotations was the same, and suggest:
