My announcement doesn't signal the establishment of any new 'facts on
the ground' in the area of what's at namespace URIs.  There has been an
XML Schema document at http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace.xsd for
over a year now.  Furthermore, as I said in my message, this change
came about _according_ to a formal W3C process, namely an XML Schema
Working Group vote.
