Interesting that you mention ID in this context. I've noticed a  
different parallel between this discussion and ID: It seems that  
Decentralized Extensibility is to Namespaces what Intelligent Design  
is to Creationism.

Is this thread and ISSUE-41 about coming up with *some* mechanism for  
parties to extend HTML unilaterally without coordinating with anyone?

Or is this thread really about establishing a mechanism that involves  
binding a prefix to a URI using reserved attributes starting with  
"xmlns:" and then using the prefix in front of local names separated  
by a colon?
