I have no problem on allowing people to use namespaces, but I do have a problem on forcing people to use them just because some others
want to use some fancy XML tool. The buildfile belongs to the
user and s/he should be in charge.
The buildfile belongs to the user, but the vocabulary belongs to the Ant/Task developers.
Do you complain about XHTML/XSLT/SVG/XSLFO/XForm etc. as well?
