In DocBook 4.5, the <sgmltag> element has a class attribute with enumerated
values. One of those enumerated values is 'namespace'. For some reason,
the equivalent <tag> element in 5.0 is missing that value and a few others.
I think it is an oversight, and I filed an RFE to see if it should get
fixed. So I think this is how a namespace name should be marked up:
<tag class="namespace">http://docbook.org/ns/docbook</tag>
But it won't validate yet.
