   RE: [xml-dev] namespace reprise

Absolutely.

So one thing that Microsoft might do to ensure that 
it's customers can choose what is to be documented 
in the URzed (it is a document of sorts), is to 
provide easy to use tools for creating URNs plus 
the implementation for catalogs just in case in 
the future, they wish to make them more meaningful 
by dereferencing them.  That escapes the tautology 
of not useful because not available, so not useful.

Tools can constrain or enable.  Microsoft chooses 
to make these choices available and customers 
choose Microsoft to choose its choices because 
the choices it chooses are in accordance with 
the customer's viewpoints and obligations, aka, policy. 

Then Microsoft is an enabler.

Namespaces in XML is only DNS based if you stick to the "URIs are HTTP
URLs with a fancier name". URNs do not have to be DNS based.
