I don't mind doing that; my main concern is that there is no specified behavior for that layer.

That might finally clear up some of the harder problems... I've concluded that namespaces itself is a great idea. I've also concluded that integrating it with XML 1.0 in any reliable way is pretty much impossible. So anything that gives that integration a good hard look and knocks it together is a great idea, even if it does put my books out of date.
