These are W3C applications of "Namespaces" and are not from independent sources.  I am
speaking of content outside of the scope and control of the W3C.  I am only dealing with
namespaces in XSL because it is in effect being forced on me.  I am not using it by choice.
Proof of an original application which chooses to use "Namespaces in XML" would help
invalidate my doubts as to "Namespaces in XML" having any use outside of the W3C specs.
