Do? Well, that's up to the application ... ;-)

Seriously, though, if there were a way to "stake the grub" (and
namespaces are seriously gurbby) without simultaneously polluting the
instance, I'd be for that.

Or maybe not. Maybe Josephone Developer and Joe User are so used to
seeing "colonized" tag names in their sample instances they won't
believe XTM is a serious effort unless namespace prefixes aren't there.
In that case, I'd be for namespace prefixes everywere....

Well, I typed "french cuisine Swindon" into Google and didn't get any
hits worth mentioning ;-)
