I am implementing namespaces in JUMBO and have realised how important the
ns is. It's very important to choose a good one. The prefix *is* irrelevant
and I shall try to show how we can avoid some of the earlier coding problems.
It's probably quite sufficient to use <X: in the spec - less typing - and
we shall also *certainly* need stuff from XHTML (if we are going to
document), where I suggest <H:P>, <H:IMG> etc.

Jon Bosak very kindly let us use xml.org for the SAX spec. I suspect that
Jon may regret that :-). It certainly would fit the bill for the ns here.
Of course the src document need not be so stable (a PURL could be a useful
idea).  And, of course, people will need to have local copies behind
firewalls.
