The WebAPI WG's consensus (obtained with blood and tears) on this
topic has so far been that while namespaces are required so that
application components can define their own namespaces, namespace
proliferation isn't desirable. As a result, the WebAPI WG has
declared itself competent to assign names in the null namespace, if
only for itself and other W3C WGs.
I don't really care either way, but it's nice when policies don't
change, and when consensual decisions are not revisited, especially
those that were painful to all involved :)
