Urgh.  I think that loses 95% of the benefit.  My idea had always been
that with namespaces, I'd be able to write a little SAX or DOM code
that could reliably pick "my" elements and attributes out of the
middle of anybody's document, anywhere, and do "my" stuff on them;
simply by keying off the namespace URI. -Tim
