Section 1. says "An XML namespace is a collection of names, identified
by a URI reference [RFC2396],"; this is echoed in section 2., which says
"The attribute's value, a URI reference, is the namespace name
identifying the namespace." Agreed that none of the apparatus of 2396
is copied in, so the constraint is strictly by reference to that RFC.
Is this a problem? -Tim
