Using data: URIs for namespaces (which return data) seems no
better/worse to me than using HTTP URIs, which are also designed to
return data. In other words, so what if a data: URI is being used to
represent a concept rather than some data: it is fine to do that with
HTTP (or rather, it is a regular practice to...), so why not data:
within certain contexts? It's a very controversial statement however,
and I was just hacking around with ideas really.

Cum grano salis.
