Interesting or not, and that depends on point of view :-), I'm not convinced
that the namespace-oblivious world is going to go away.  Ever.  If one wants
to use XML only in the context of one's own application, namespaces aren't
useful or needed.  One of the reasons XML is so great is that you don't
*need* a DTD to process XML documents - are we just going to replace the DTD
with namespaces, and require that all XML documents use namespaces of some
sort?
