I created a prototype of this idea on github: https://github.com/hfmanson/webcomponentsjs/blob/xml-namespace/README.md by forking the original webcomponents.js project. It contains a working example of this concept. Below the content of the README.md file: This fork of webcomponents.js enhances

I'm inclined to agree with Glen here on a couple of points. 1) The exact form of the namespacing mechanism isn't so important as the fact that there is a mechanism in place. While not everyone will use namespaces (and to be honest that should be seen as a requirement, that any namespace proposal

Web Components are also JS. Any renaming you do in JS, you can do just as easily in HTML. + No functionality is enabled by namespaces that can't be done without them just as easily but with a little more verbosity. So I can import a custom element and rename it even after it has been

I like the look of a colon, however it would quite probably conflict with XML/XHTML so it's probably best to avoid it (although I am not an expert). A hyphen or maybe even a tilde (~) would likely be the better option. ms-panel polymer-element a href=xxx x-controller=xxx ms~panel
