I dread this, practically. namespaces are good,
but they aren't half  a pain in real life, having to declare
them all up front and interact with them in editors.
in XML schemas, of course, it means another .xsd file
to carry around.

It does look elegant, but since we are not currently
proposing it for  extensions, I'd steer clear if I could.
