There is no written ontological committment for the meaning of a
namespace that I can find. Yes syntactically it is a URL. But I sure see
difference between is:about and was:about, and do certainly expect
different semantics between these. Just as I would for my:diet and
your:diet, as I would for chevy:auto and ford:auto. So the namespace is
not in any way irrelevant as a pointer to its meaning, as much as any
name or any part of name, is irrelevant to the meaning of that so
identified, which I gather is the point you're wanting to say. (01)
