Don Park suggests that we could "establish a business practice requiring all
URI used as namespace name to
not contain any illegal XML name characters."  That rules out "/", thereby
limiting namespaces to second-tier domain names and similar unsegmented
names. That goes against the desire for unlimited scalability and the goal
to allow _anyone_ to create namespace names as they need to.
