Although it might be a lot of fuzz (I don't understand why, but nonetheless..), I think we shuld strive to have an HTTP-based namespace URI for just the same reasons you enumerated.
Having the namespace URI point to an informational, human-readable HTML page is imho extremely important for Atom if we want it to be �newbie� and �View Source Clan� friendly. If we want it to be by techies for techies, any URI scheme will do the job.
What domain and space the HTTP URI points to is not very important, imho. purl.org has been used in examples and such, but anything would do it for me. Speaking of which: why can't IETF host this informational page, such as 'http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'?
