That makes sense. I'm pretty sure that the Universal Feed Parser used by 
Planet Venus does something similar, and I know for a fact that Snarfer does 
(although slightly more restrictive).

I didn't mean to suggest that the one userland namespace that I tested was 
the only one that would work with those clients. The point was to determine 
what percentage of clients had explicit support for a particular namespace 
URI (or set of URIs), and which clients were ignoring the namespace URI 
altogether.

The URI I chose for my test was just the one that I'd encountered most 
frequently in the wild.
