BR> CSS is useful for ... what is inessential to understanding of the data
Agreed.
BR> namespaces (as currently defined) are an essential
BR> part of understanding what the data is.
Empty words.
Certainly, i'm disagreed.
Look at XInclude - namespace describes behaviour (already existed in CSS).
Look at XLink - namespace describes presentation (compare with
http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-ui/#appearance ).
Content of prefix in XML is the same, that attributes @style in HTML.
