I haven't understood why issue 2 is in here:

> 2. Are resource URIs opaque or composed of namespace + local name?


Isn't s2 sufficient for (a fairly weak) datatyping with or without s1.

Personally I feel that in M&S resource URIs are opaque and not a namespace +
local name (which is simply a facet of the XML serialization). Hence I need
very strong arguments for making a significant change that will break most
implementations.

Datatyping might be a sufficiently strong argument, but I haven't yet
understood it.
