    Yesterday someone was proposing http://ns.docbook.org/something for 
    namespace name. I have been thinking about it more and I don't think it 
    is a good idea. First it is quite inconvenient to use third level domain 
    name for this IMHO (I didn't see such namespace before), and more 
    importantly domain names starting with "ns" are usually used for DNS 
    servers. It could cause some confusion among users that have networking 
    background.
    
    So if this won't be against OASIS naming rules I think that
    
    	http://docbook.org/ns/docbook
    
    is the best namespace name we had on a plate till now.
    
    I still personally think that URNs are better for namespace names, but 
    web is moving in a little bit different direction and it is probably 
    better to respect this than to resist on something (I mean URNs) that 
    will look quite odd for many users in a future.
