Re: RSS : a "namespace" in itself ?

If you wanted to use the null namespace for some other purpose, then 
you could prefix the RSS elements with a properly declared namespace 
prefix (in an ideal world, and in standard XML grammar).  But RSS has 
traditionally been used without any prefixes, and clients expect it 
that way.  I'm not asking for a change, I'm just pining for the 
fjords.
