But it's conceptually much cleaner.  Who likes pascal style variable 
declarations at the top, isntead of local scope rules?

It also makes component software easier, since I can just locally use a 
"ds" prefix to indicate XML DSIG, without having to globally coordinate 
with every part of a program working on a document.
