The XML Core WG discussed this on today's telcon.

Our answer to the TAG question about urgency is that we are 
holding up our request for CR for Namespaces in XML 1.1 until 
we hear back from the TAG on this issue.  

After we hear back, it will still take us a couple more weeks 
to finish up responding to commentors and editing DoCs before 
we can submit our request for CR.  Being as we want the CR period 
to end mid-February in parallel with the CR for XML 1.1, we would 
really like to have the CR period start before the end of the year.  
Considering AC meetings, US Thanksgiving, and end-of-year holidays, 
the sooner we hear back from the TAG, the more likely we will really
have a CR out in a timely manner.
