I think most of these could be adapted to use 'vocabulary' or talk about
xml namespae names instead of alluding to a class of things that are
'xml namespaces'.
I do note one usage, 'RDFS namespace URI' that I'd be reluctant to
change to say 'vocabulary', though I could live with that.
So, RDFS summary: we could avoid using namespace as a noun relatively easily.
