I can't say I buy that. By using the TEI NS URI, we  are saying that these
are intended to be  used with the TEI, but are not the TEI. But I don't mind
if there is an alternative algorithm.

where does $VersionNumber come from?

the problem with http://www.ProjectName.info/ns is that people have
a minimal expectation of namespaces being human readable
(for good or bad). If I had a "ProjectName" to hand, I could use it,
I agree.
