Pop up the NS spec and go searching for "URI Reference"... I count 7 places in which it's made clear that a namespace name is a URI reference, here's the first from section 1: "An XML namespace is a collection of names, identified by a URI reference [RFC2396]" I had penned a long and fairly irritated reply to this, but since the premise of the whole posting is plainly vacuous, I'll stop here. -Tim
