The message is clear for XSchema - we can and must address namespaces. Fortunately I don't think it's too difficult. For the others I hope that this view filters through to the WGs :-). I agree with Paul that XPointer should have namespace aware components. For example, it's perfectly reasonable for someone to ask "are there any mathematical or chemical equations in this document?" At present they would have to search for descendant(1,MathML:EQN) or descendant(CML:REACTION) and *hope* that the authors had used 'common' prefixes. But this will assuredly break. So really they should be searching for (1,http://www.ams.org.MathML:EQN) or whatever. P.
