Content-feature is a way to associate tagged values with a MIME message. An
xmlns is simply a URI, so this proposal can simply be thought of as a way to
associate a set of URIs with a MIME request/reply. I wouldn't specify any
particular 'meaning' of this set, allow applications to use it as desired.
In that case it really ought not be at all controversial.
