I don't think namespaces are dictionaries. I think they are collections of names, just like the spec says. That doesn't mean I don't think dictionaries are useful and necessary. If we are going to be analogizing with human languages, I known of no human language for which one dictionary is adequate to cover the task of describing all the things dictionaries can describe. I think it equally unrealistic that a single URI, pointing to a single definitional/semantic resource (OK, with conneg as many resources as you have media types) will be remotely adequate to the problem of providing all the information we want from definitional and semantic resources in the future. -Tim
