RE: [docbook] namespace markup

["Johnson, Eric" <Eric.Johnson@iona.com>]

I think Jirka is right. I currently use <uri> for XML namespaces for the
very reasons cited. The namespace is not a tag or a proper part of the
markup.
I do not think that a provision should be made in <tag> for namespaces.
Perhaps it can be added to <uri>'s type attribute...
