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.
