What possible advantage would there be to allowing just anyone to add elements to Atom's namespace, or any other namespace, for that matter? I can't think of any.
If you add to an existing namespace, you don't need to add confusing namespace declarations.
In my opinion, alteration of a namespace by anyone other than the entity that created it, or someone authorized by its creator, would completely violate the nature of namespaces.
Sure. But it happens for practical reasons.
