RE: [syndication] Namespaces discussion

["David Galbraith" <david@moreover.com>]

I think this is part of the challenge, RSS is liked because it is simple so
any use of namespaces must be simple too.
Regarding Rael's comment that I should post what may be expected at the
other end regarding a namespace that is a URL (it was really Rael who summed
up the whole namespace confusion so eloquently, I was just paraphrasing his
comments to me) - I'll follow up shortly.
