A version-controlled namespace tactic that disallows minor 
changes without version number changes explicitly disallows 
the use of the standard channel to create a tipping point 
advantage covertly.  This favors the strategy of openness 
and transparency of transactions and these in turn, 
simplify auditability.

If in search of signal, I understand markup markets.  
Cheating in markup is like [expletive deleted] in the party punch. 
Other bowls are provided for that:  namespace URNs. 
If the pun escapes you, say it out loud.

I admit to being in the camp that says the addition of a new value to an 
enum does NOT warrant a new schema namespace (subject to the usual caveats 
about semantic coherence) ?
