I am in favor of using the w3.org namespace. See also:
http://www.w3.org/2005/07/13-nsuri

But as far as I know using dates in URIs by the W3C so far has not
really been helpful. It is almost impossible to get rid of such dates
later. And I don't know why or if "www." is needed.

Anyway we do not need to make a final decision before publishing the FPWD.
