Namespaces are system flags to XML processors.
They don't belong in the core. Because names
of resources and names of locations of resources
in the system are conflated, you can't put them
in the core without tieing them directly to
the system. That violated platform independence.
Not all schemas are equal. This is a flaw
in your ideas. Namespaces with HTTP in the
definition are considered resolvable. That
is the flaw in TimBL's idea. As to whether
DTDs belong in the core, without them, the
mess of lackadasical well-formedness gets
worse. We have years of solid practical
experience with DTDs in the core. No valid
reason to remove them has been presented.

Wrong. I think that the following are good ideas:
1. removing schema languges from the base document syntax
2. putting namespaces in the core.
The two are orthogonal. -Tim
