Right on both counts. The Namespaces rec is certainly playing games
(along the lines of you can look, but you can't touch). And yes, calling
a namespace name that is syntactically a URI a string won't make a blind
bit of difference to XML as practised. 

However, when you think about it, such a clarification would just junk
any pretence of systems architecture regarding XML Namespaces. We'd be
building machinery that by admission relies a coincidence. Now I don't
think architecture of any kind should rely on a coincidence, however
happy. But the clarification would be an honest admission of guilt at
least.
