I haven't read a recent schema draft, but if it says what you say it says,
then in my opinion that would be an egregious design error. It is of course
not a violation of the namespace spec, but I'm beginning to think that we
should have written into the spec an express prohibition against land-grab
attempts on the address function of the namespace name. The notion that a
single URL can address the One True Schema Which Will Meet All Needs is
demonstrably, empirically, absolutely wrong. -T.
