The issue is the record of authority to be cited when specifying and procuring systems. The record of authority is itself, a namespace and must be rational with respect to resolving referenced. It was an issue with specifying SGML systems, as noted in another thread: even with a tighter standard, we needed conformance tests to procure systems that were used at larger scales of production. This is the same for XML, namespaces, etc. We must enable professionals whose jobs are aligned with ours to contract for systems and products of these systems without having to be deeply aware of the technical details. len xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
