Why make them look like URLs when they are actually not? Feedburner's namespace URI (<a href="" rel="nofollow">http://rssnamespace.org/feedburner/ext/1.0</a>) goes to an empty page on a domain that's even for sale. If the marketing department knew that, they'd surely be annoyed. As of this moment, I have 6500 feeds and 95000 entries indexed, with 30000 unindexed feeds in the pipeline. The sheer network usage is staggering. The vast majority are blogs. My issue now is to make any sensible presentation of them by Friday... Hey toxi, I realize that, but it just seems stupid.

However often, (or maybe as best practice) the URI used has some form of human readable documentation of the namespace. For example: http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/ Good luck & looking forward to see your project. Are you sure you really have *fully* indexed flickr & co? ;) Hey Marius, XML namespaces don’t need to map to a working URI, they’re only required to be syntactically correct.
