>At one point over a decade ago people were suggesting that namespaces should change with each version of an XML vocabulary, which might have made this useful; but it was soon realized that this was a very bad idea.

Unfortunately in the XML world there are many bad ideas that seem to be widely deployed, and this is one of them. Developers often have to cope with the mess left behind by XML document designers who should have known better. (Some of the XML document designers haven't written a line of code for 20 years, so it's not surprising this happens...)
