If people buy the concept, we can let the editors choose the word.
A minor tweak on MU: what about making the namespaces into a list of URIs in an attribute, ie <atom:feed atom:must-understand="ns1 ns2">?
Just seems like it's easier to make the XML processor do the parsing rather than having to do it yourself.
Also, does the removal of version imply a resolution to Atom Component Identification that is the use of atom namespace name changes + mU to indicate incompatible versions, as I had proposed?
I totally didn't understand that question, and I bet there are others similarly puzzled. Want to try again? -Tim
