Hi Folks,

    Ouch!

    I've just been bitten and I'd like 
    to share the lesson I learned.

Namespaces are great. I highly recommend them. 

But here's the thing ... 

    Namespaces are not just important for markup, 
    they are also important for data. 

    ...

Here is a short article I wrote describing the lesson I learned about the importance of using namespaces for both markup and data:

Your comments are welcome.
