in case you didn't see it... have a look at the xmpp capabilities discovery mechanism. they had a need to simplify a big pile of namespaces into a short string, ... which unambigously IDs a set of URI-named capabilities wondering if we can do similar with namespace declarations? ie. sha1 of a list like: foaf:http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/ , dc:http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/ etc then use that short string, 'aa315f6b2' in markup, <p vocabs:aa315f6b2="http://details-elsewhere.example.com/";>... this would allow well known bundles to be recognised without going to the network... thinking out loud, Dan
