I guess I should have been clearer about my rationale for bugging you on this Ian: I reckon the Web of documents is transitioning to a more general Web of data. For things to go smoothly HTML should at least have minimal support for describing things in a form computers can understand (yup, in many ways this is orthogonal to what browsers currently do). The best mechanism I know of for this kind of extensibility on top of the doc markup, to leave the door open for innovation, is URI-based namespaces. If you have another approach up your sleeve that will fulfil the same role, great! Let's see it. Cheers, Danny.
