To be honest, for this particular purpose using namespaces would be very poor solution. You should use namespaces (NS) when you want to mix two (or more) different types of data in a single XML document. So NS are perfectly useful for combining DocBook+MathML, XHTML+SVG, XSLT+HTML, etc. But in these cases you are mixing markup scheme for different areas of interest. Adding something like seealso via NS to DocBook is not good design approach because this element is on same semantic level as other DocBook elements. In this case it is proper to customize DTD. Believe me, I'm working with markup technologies for many years and I'm also member of DocBook development team on SourceForge. > In my viewpoint defining that role is the best we can do here. It is solution which works, but from my point of view it is not sign of the best document type desing.
