ACTION: Norm to add to next beta version
Larry reported commented on the namespacename and modifier inside the namespace wrapper. It seems to be a much more complex model than needed:
<section>

<title>  Name Space  </title>

<namespacesynopsis>

<namespacename>  db  </namespacename>

<package>  DocBook  </package>

<synopsisinfo>  xmlns="
http://docbook.org/ns/docbook
"  </synopsisinfo>

</namespacesynopsis>

<namespacesynopsis>

<namespace>

<namespacename>  db  </namespacename>

</namespace>

<!-- What is the purpose of the namespace element?  It seems to
            simply complicate the structure with no additional semantic
            value. -->

<package>  DocBook  </package>

<synopsisinfo>  xmlns="
http://docbook.org/ns/docbook
"  </synopsisinfo>

</namespacesynopsis>

</section>
Discussion of how URI would be reflected.
ACTION: All to review the samples in the original submitted request and continue discussion on the list.
Bob submitted DocBook v5.1.1 as approved (using the OASIS form).
