Re: [docbook] namespace markup

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

In DocBook 4.5, the <sgmltag> element has a class attribute with enumerated 
values.  One of those enumerated values is 'namespace'.  For some reason, 
the equivalent <tag> element in 5.0 is missing that value and a few others. 
I think it is an oversight, and I filed an RFE to see if it should get 
fixed.  So I think this is how a namespace name should be marked up:

<tag class="namespace">http://docbook.org/ns/docbook</tag>

But it won't validate yet.
