This is something I can have a go at myself as a standalone script but 
my skills are well below what's required to offer new code for ReSpec so 
I'll test the water here and see what the reaction is.

Lots of our documents include tables of namespaces used, like 
https://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-duv/#namespaces-1

It would be really cool if those tables could be created automatically, 
perhaps by searching through the doc for /[az]+:[azAZ_]/ and then 
processing them. There's an online service, prefix.cc, that has all the 
common prefixes used and presumably we could add in unusual ones in much 
the same way we do for references.

Any takers? (please!)

Phil.
