Hello,

as a developer i have serious problems with using a URL as namespace...
because ICANN does control any URL i might use... and not me or people who
use the XML..

so...

what would be the problem (which i don't see, yet) to use something like
this:

xmlns:cms="http://localhost/cms/" (i would prefer this VERY MUCH)

or, at least, this:

xmlns:cms="http://www.example.com/cms/"

or this:

xmlns:cms="http://www.google.com/cms/"


...as namespace url for my XML?

No problems at all, use whatever namespace you like.  You could just
use xmlns:cms="cms", it really doesn't matter.  Just don't put dates
or version numbers in it, or anything that might give you reason to
want to change it down the line.
