Mmh, with URI escaping, I think there would be no problem.

Florent, a bit of a belated reply, but I just reread this thread and couldn't resist: URI escaping cannot be applied to a namespace. A namespace is a string and no escaping is done or undone upon comparison. The following two namespaces are NOT equal, because their strings are not equal:

http://example.com/~user
http://example.com/%7Euser

Thus, to get parentheses inside the proposed syntax of xmlns(ns=http://namespace) there has to be used another trick or treat...
