The 1.0 specification at least declares dereferenceable resource at the end of the Namespace S URI.

This is no longer allowed per an OASIS rule as of 2006-08

http://docs.oasis-open.org/specGuidelines/namingGuidelines/resourceNaming.html#NamespaceDesign

    "HTTP scheme namespace URIs must resolve to some informative
    resource, ideally meeting the requirements for a (RDDL)
    namespace document; OASIS will supply a default namespace
    document if the TC designates/supplies no resource for resolution..."

See for example "June 30, 2006":

(and others, I think)

oBIX Specification
Committee Draft 02, June 30, 2006

7.3 XML Encoding
The following rules apply to encoding oBIX documents:

* oBIX documents should include an XML Namespace definition.
Convention is declare the default namespace of the document to 'http://obix.org/ns/schema/1.0'.

7.5 XML Namespace

XML namespaces for standards within the oBIX umbrella should conform to the following pattern:

http://obix.org/ns/{spec}/{version}

The XML namespace for oBIX version 1.0 is:

http://obix.org/ns/schema/1.0

All XML in this document is assumed to have this namespace unless otherwise explicitly stated.
