All you may be able to know is that the user has > made that assertion. Not so. We know apriori that the namespace exists, and that it contains that name. We know this because the Namespaces REC allows every unique identifier to be a namespace name (in particular 'http://foo/') and because every namespace is a scope which contains every possible legal XML name (in particular 'Title'). That's all there is to it ... there's nothing else which would qualify as independent verification.
