Exactly. The whole point of URI/URL schemas (AFAIU) is to map hierarchical
spaces.
But XML-NS simply uses the cumbersome notation (it ain't, strictly speaking,
pretty) when the __information__ that the notational system is designed to
convey is disregarded?
(Further motivation: A hierarchical naming context will greatly facilitate
'modularization'.)
