Using the one you suggested (or the one I suggested earlier) would mean that xmlns="../../../1998/Math/MathML" would be a valid declaration of MathML, which isn't very nice. Having a different server would also simplify setting things up so that an attempt to dereference any such namespace name could succeed and return a text saying something along the lines of This is a resource corresponding to the namespace <whatever> David
