And if the controlling namespace is no namespace at all?
My rules files for namespace and regular fragmentation processing are
very content to live inside any root element. They don't particularly
care about control.
Rewriting the data sounds like you're trying to force square pegs into
elliptical holes. Maybe that's appropriate sometimes, but I can't see
it as a general case.
