Re: Namespace conformance & SAX2
Actually, any parser is trivially conformant with the namespace
spec if it completely ignores those constraints.  The conformance
constraint is for documents only ... meaning, document creation
facilities are the only ones constrained.

Some of my review comments for the namespace spec requested
(repeatedly!) clarification on what XML processors need to do,
but it wasn't forthcoming (over several spec iterations).  So it
was clear to me that the relevant W3C folk didn't want to require
XML processors to do anything.

Would you propose that such constraints be reported as fatal
errors (WFness violations), nonfatal ones (like validity problems
and a few other random errors), warnings, or something else?
