When you say document, how pedantic are you being?  Do SOAP messages 
count?  There are lots of them zipping around, and they are all compound. 
(I don't like to disagree with Amy! but WS interoperability is no argument 
pro or con about namespaces, just as HTML interoperability isn't an 
argument either way.) In the security area, there are many types of 
security tokens (biometric, username/password, SAML, etc) and they don't 
share namespaces.

In the document area, we've added a couple-hundred extension elements and 
functions to XSLT, and they're in a few different namespaces.
