Namespace URIs do not, in general, point to anything concrete. They are
just arbitrarily assigned strings that are compared character for
character. I consider it a design flaw to use something that looks so much
like it should be dereferenced but the idea was that people could manage
their "namespace namespace" at the same time that they manage their
website. If your departmental URL space is /finance then you could invent
/finance namespace URIs.
