It's assertions like this that honestly confuse me. WWW content,rendered on
today's HTML browsers, cares not a whit about namespaces, so how does
having 3 complicate your life more than 1? We effectively have "0" since
the browsers don't use, acknowledge, or appreciate the namespace.

Would it help to know that in my "previous life" (of most of my 20s), I
spent nearly 10 years in the radio control room at the police department,
effectively telling 30-50 men where to go all night? ;)
