me as odd. In the original text we are told this URI identifies a “namespace”

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>How is a processor to know
whether this “classification” string identifies an XML Namespace or something
else (it could be a URI identifying an ontology concept for example)? And so
how can it know whether, if exporting the smart tags as XML, it should use this

<p><b><span lang=EN-US>Nature of the Defect:<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><span lang=EN-US
style='font-size:12.0pt'>The first bullet on pp. 529 has, "The first
of these is the namespace for this smart tag (contained in the </span><span
class=Attribute><span lang=EN-US>uri</span></span><span lang=EN-US
style='font-size:12.0pt'> attribute). This allows the smart tag to specify a
URI which should identifies the namespace of this smart tag to a
consumer."<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><span lang=EN-US
style='font-size:12.0pt'>What is the effect of omitting this attribute? Is the
implied element conformant to XMLNames? Is it permitted for the attribute to be
something other than a URI?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><span lang=EN-US

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><span lang=EN-US

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><b><span lang=EN-US>Here is the proposed response for this DR:<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p style='margin-left:36.0pt'><span lang=EN-US>As this construct stores
custom-defined semantics, it is correct (as implied) that there is no
constraint that this attribute contain a URI, or any value whatsoever.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style='margin-left:36.0pt'><span lang=EN-US>The exact changes are as
follows:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style='margin-left:36.0pt'><span lang=EN-US>The first of these is the <s><span
style='color:red'>namespace </span></s><u><span style='color:#0070C0'>classification
</span></u>for this smart tag (contained in the </span><span lang=EN-US
style='font-family:"Cambria","serif"'>uri</span><span lang=EN-US> attribute).
This <u><span style='color:#0070C0'>optional property </span></u>allows the
smart tag to specify a <s><span style='color:red'>URI which should identifies
the namespace of </span></s><u><span style='color:#0070C0'>string defining the
classification of </span></u>this smart tag to a consumer. <u><span
style='color:#0070C0'>[<i>Guidance</i>: Ideally, this property is specified in
the form of a URI which identifies the namespace of this smart tag, although
this is not required.<i> end guidance</i>] </span></u>It is intended to be used
to specify a family of smart tags to which this one belongs. [<i>Example</i>:
In the sample above, the smart tag belongs to the </span><span lang=EN-US
style='font-family:Consolas'>http://www.example.com</span><span lang=EN-US> <s><span
style='color:red'>namespace</span></s><u><span style='color:#0070C0'>classification</span></u>.
