Re:  RDDL as a delivery vehicle for XSLT extensions?
I don't think the point is saving keystrokes.  The point is reducing
errors and easing maintenance.  Namespace URIs can be long and
unfriendly (like uuid:); having to put the same URI in multiple places
in a single document is error-prone and makes maintenance harder. (Yes,
I know you could use entities, but entities aren't part of everybody's
long term vision for XML.)

Since use of a prefix would be most convenient for XSLT 1.1 and use of a namespace URI would be most convenient for SVG and other applications that may be generated using XSLT 1.0, could we have an implements attribute whose value is a union type, either a NCName or a URIReference? If relative URI's are explicitly prohibited for script namespaces, there would be no overlap of their lexical space.
