Not at all -- I used the "html:p" simply as shorthand for something like http://www.w3.org/Profiles/voyager-strict + p (By the way, I'd like to note that I strongly dislike the idea of having three separate HTML namespaces as proposed in the Voyager spec [1]; after all, an HTML <a> is an HTML <a> is an HTML <a>, whether you're using the loose, strict, or frameset version of HTML). > This leads to the question of whether a processor / an application > can expect a universal name to truly always describe the same > thing. This question is distinct from how the description of the > thing is located (ie whether the uri locates a schema). To the same extent, I think, that a Java program can expect org.xml.sax.DocumentHandler to truly always describe the same class (i.e. not perfectly, but close enough for jazz).
