At one point, I proposed here at W3C that even if we didn't have anything really serious to point at for a namespace uri, we should put up a page that says something like "This is just a page that is here in case you tried to dereference this uri, the uri is the uri for the foo namespace. This page also helps to make sure that this uri isn't reused for something else." I guess there might be some namespaces at W3C that have something similar now. You'll probably find a way to squeeze this into your model, but it will look odd. Regards, Martin.
