If we're using these types of external namespaces (e.g. gml: atom: etc.
- which I think is a good idea to support) then this is almost
exclusively XML (at the moment).
JSON does not in general support namespaces and many people seem opposed
to this concept. Although, geojson had a go at it with @namespaces [1]
but this doesn't seem to be actually specified anywhere. And there's
been a bit of debate and a few proposals that got shouted down on the
JSON Schema list, etc.
If we go with the simple model outlined in the wiki link [1] then we
could benefit from all these existing namespaces/data models and have a
relatively consistent model across both XML and JSON...along with making
it more extensible.

Even though I suggested it, I'm actually against namespaces also, as I recently blogged about [1]. The pros and cons of namespaces is better left to a teleconference than an email discussion, but bottom line is that I think they do more harm than good, and I wouldn't mind dropping them.

Related notes:
We're going to be adopting GML/GeoRSS points/line/poly/box by directly importing them into our namespace, and will not be using namespaces for other core parts. metadata, etc, will still be namespaced as appropriate.
