Or some such. In what _practical_ way is this different from changing the Namespaces rule from character-by-character comparison to RFC 2396/deployed network infrastructure comparison? This is the core of my complaint here: the push for namespace documents will inevitably lead to a de facto revision of the Namespaces REC, and that's too big a change to introduce by the back door.
