Well, since I wrote that section, I would be very interested in hearing why 
you feel this is a reinvention of XML namespaces. I had intended to 
describe a way of handling namespace declarations in literal XML content 
that was compatible with the existing namespace specification, leveraging 
the concept of null namespaces from XPath 1.0.

Where do you think this goes astray?

I managed to detect your provocative tone. I have not yet detected the 
content of your critique. If you want to give me some more details, I can 
respond more substantively.
