... It may not be. I think I'm starting to understand TBL's argument that
there may be value in saying that the Namespace URI, as declared, is not
"the name" per se, but is a reference to a point in URI space which
represents the namespace's identity. That may actually answer my "show me
how to make relative names make sense" objection... they may not be
_useful_, but there's a coherent way to interpret them.
It is still unclear that this interpretation really works, or that it's
worth the additional cycles and storage needed to implement it. But at
least I begin to see where the assumptions diverge.
