The most common convention I have seen is in use (at least by us at
Microsoft) is
urn:technologyarea-companyname.com:specifictechnology-or-specificproduct
/morespecifics
which is typically easily recognizable by most who see it as a namespace
URI unlike HTTP URLs(some of which break the unwritten rules of the web
by not pointing to network retrievable documents).

http://www.simonstl.com/ns/foo, http://www.simonstl.com/ns/bar, etc.,
and I asked him if there was any precedent for the /ns/ part, and he
said no.
Assuming that we don't want to hang them off the root directory (e.g.
http://www.snee.com/foo) the two obvious choices are a directory name to
identify namespaces as Simon did or a subdomain (e.g.
http://mynamespaces.snee.com/foo or http://ns.snee.com/foo or whatever.)
Has anyone seen any conventions repeated often enough to qualify as
conventions?
