In large part, I think it's oral traditions that brought us here: 1) the oral traditions in the URI community surrounding RFC 2396 2) the oral traditions in the XML community surrounding 'Namespaces in XML' At least the oral traditions of the XML community tend to be archived (see: http://www.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/2000/05/0516.html) - I suspect the URI community has similar archives. Whether oral tradition is a good thing or not is another debate... Simon St.Laurent XML Elements of Style / XML: A Primer, 2nd Ed.
