Heavens, I think Paul has single-handedly shattered the

People use namespaces to identify and disambiguate
elements and attributes.
(a) How can I as a human being find out what the
namespace is all about?
(b) How can I go about discovering what {schemas,
stylesheets, java classes, DTDs, etc etc) are
out there for this namespace.
That's all. Nothing complicated.
RDDL isn't a complete solution to all aspects of this
problem. It's trying to hit an 80/20 point. Just like
