Also, the namespace URI isn't required to reference a > resolvable document, it's just an identifier. You're suggesting that the URI The main objection against a file:/// URI to be used as a namespace name is that it doesn't offer any guarantee of uniqueness needed precisely by namespace name to disambiguate vocabularies. file://example.com/foobar is fine in that respect. Actually that's a good way to make sure nobody is gonna attempt to retrieve a resource there since file:// doesn't specify the protocol used for access ;-) (one more problem in that file: URL scheme !)
