Another question on this thread:
In terms of namespace approaches, the Java model is frequently pointed
to as a good way to do it. At least I haven't heard any Java people
complaining about namespaces in any way remotely close to how the XML
people talk about it.
Has anyone written down a proposal for "Java-style" namespaces in a
markup language, specifically HTML?
There is this starting point:
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2005/04/13/namespace-uris.html
(As you can see in the comments of that article, this issue has been a
thorn in my side for many years)
A slightly different approach, worth note:

If anyone knows of a more recent revision of this, let me know.
A survey of the existing art will be a good start toward proposing
something ourselves on this list. We can keep accumulating use cases
as we go.
Thanks, -m
