Vocab Namespaces?

In the Emotion Markup Language (EmotionML) 1.0 (W3C Working Draft 7 April 2011) - why don't you use namespaces for vocab terms? (which is the more common approach, with QNAMES, or even CURIES)

So the example (just before section 2.2.2) would be:

<emotion xmlns:big6="http://www.w3.org/TR/emotion-voc/xml#big6">
    <category name="big6:sadness" value="0.3"/>
    <category name="big6:anger" value="0.8"/>
    <category name="big6:fear" value="0.3"/>
</emotion>

And, of course, that namespace can be defined at the top-level and reused elsewhere...

Cheers...
