But I think the question of what should or should not be the resource identified by the namespace URI is I think exactly the question Paul was thinking about when he wrote > Do we have to decide this issue? I was hoping not. Actually there seems to be fairly clear consensus that nothing in particular need be identified by the namespace name if used as a URI. The only two people I've seen speak against this with any real conviction are Dan Connolly and Tim Berners-Lee. However they have rather central roles at W3C and that basically is the cause of the current difficulty, that W3C HQ don't like their own recommendations and don't agree with the current notions of best practices for XML and namespace use.
