A fair point, thank you... I had missed that. I was thinking about 
separate identification of namespace and namespace documents for 
namespaces with names that end neither in '#' or '/' such as the following:

http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema
http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink

Interestingly http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink responds with a 301 redirect 
to http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink/ which gives a pausible distinction 
between the namespace identifier and the document identifier (though the 
converse of the convention you use at Nokia).
