A legalistic niggle, which I am sure Tim is aware of more than anyone: "Names beginning with the string 'xml' [case-blind] are reserved for standardization in this or future versions of this specification". XML-related standards such as Namespaces, XLink have already broken the letter of this rule; but it doesn't seem appropriate that anyone who thinks of a nice XML idea and wants to propose it for standardisation should automatically have rights to this namespace, even if he is a co-author of the standard!
