I'll paraphrase the use case as follows (I'll leave the source
anonymous):
A server wants to construct a large XML document as the response to
a client request, and it does so by handing off the work to several
parallel processes and then concatenating the results into a single
document. If each of the processes can declare its own namespaces,
then it is not necessary to establish complicated negotiation
channels between the top-level process and the child processes to
obtain the correct namespace declarations.
Before everyone rushes out to shoot holes in this use case, I'd like
to note that I still have callouses on my trigger finger from doing so
myself.
All the best,
David
