If this is true, then I'm on the wrong wave length.

I do not see namespaces as attaching semantics to elements, but
only as a way to uniquify otherwise non-unique names.  This, for
me, is the XML-namespace issue.  Attaching semantics is either
the XML-style or XML-datatyping or XML-link or whatever issue.
Let's keep orthogonal issues as separate as possible.
