No, that's not "today's standard system", that's the verbose XML cult of
thought.

Extension authors should have no reason to need to type in a full long uri
every time they refer to a namespace.

Not to mention how decision on renaming extension pages or switching to a
different system for extension management could affect something that should
not be dependent on them.
