That's the nice thing about using URIs rather than domain names for
namespaces: anyone who owns *any* URI can construct a namespace.  For
example, my personal (and badly out-of-date) home page is at

  http://home.sprynet.com/sprynet/dmeggins/

I don't own the sprynet.com domain name, but since I do have control
over this URL, I can base namespaces on it:

  <dpm:doc
    xmlns:dpm="http://home.sprynet.com/sprynet/dmeggins/ns/doc/">
   <!-- ... -->
  </dpm:doc>

Of course, this isn't very stable, since I might switch ISPs at any
time, but at least it's possible.


All the best,


David
