(And not even hidden benefits, I think.) Why can't people just make them simpler? Like Java packages? <Urmel xmlns="de.milu.ns.eins"/> <mv:bla xmlns:mv="com.myvocabulary.mynamespace"/> Prefixes and declarations aren't the problem. Unreadable URIs are. So conditioned by frustration and wasted time, whenever something doesn't work, one of the first things I see coming to mind is to double-check the bloody namespace URIs. *Double-check* - because one quick glance is not enough when dealing with these long-winded URIs.
