	The namespace specification explicitly states that "It is not a goal
that [the namespace name] be directly usable for retrieval of a schema (if
any exists)." See: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/ (read the second
[definition] in section 2)
	There is no requirement that a URI which is a namespace name can
actually be dereferenced ("resolved"). A namespace is not identified by an
URL or URN (which one would expect to be able to dereference) it is
identified by a URI (which is merely an identifier). A URI is in a form that
allows it to be dereferenced (like an URL) however; it is NOT a requirement
that dereferencing be possible.
	If your code breaks because the URI cannot be dereferenced, it is
not a failing of the CAP or Namespaces specifications. It is a failing of
your code.
