<Quote> Supplementary question: if I was, say, a Government department, what would you recommend? </Quote> Here in the US, the Federal CIO Council XML Working Group created a draft "Recommended XML Namespace for Government Organizations" document in March 2003 [1].

As a sidenote, I recommended that this document be updated to also include URL formats for namespace identifiers. Oh, which reminds me: I need to check on its status...
