Right. They don't know about namespaces and don't
care this season. Over time as IP and conformance
to cited standards becomes more important, they will.
So the namespace is just the implementation means.
The coupler is the features as expressed in the
extensions (as denoted by the namespace), and that
is life as normal among competing providers of
specification-based products. As I thought,
technology push vs customer pull. The fun
is that for some technologies, as you note,
the technologists are the customers. Note that
the namespacesAreEvil thread is stable; no matter
how perturbed, it returns to the same predictable
points on the topic map.
It would be fun to have a technology that extracted
such topic points from perma-threads, mapped them,
then visualized them such that one could see if
they are stable, non-linear chaotic, and what if
any strange attractors emerge, then what the nature
of these are.

If your customers are XML geeks I'd expect not. If your customers are
reqular people who just want software to work then they are just an
implementation detail.
