--------- Andrew Welch Says 
This thread seems to be heading towards the nasty style of markup like:

<book>
  <book-title>...</
  <book-author>
    <book-author-name>
      ...
--------------------------

Agreed.   I personally think it's perfectly fine (even preferable) to reuse
element names in different contexts to some extent.   Its preferable to the
above, in my opinion, and need not require namespaces unless you are truely
mixing/nesting completely independent vocabularies.
