I just want to clarify that the VBJ I refer to is not really XMLNS 1.0.  I'm 
still not so disparaging of what I think was a very honest effort that has 
proven more useful in practice than a lot of specs I can think of.  It's more 
the intersection of this with all the incomprehensible (to me) confusion over 
URIs among observers.
