it's not easily distinguishable from a function call; it

can't handle a URI containing an unpaired right bracket;

    

  Mmh, with URI escaping, I think there would be no problem.

  

Florent, a bit of a belated reply, but I just reread this thread and 
couldn't resist: URI escaping cannot be applied to a namespace. A 
namespace is a string and no escaping is done or undone upon comparison. 
The following two namespaces are NOT equal, because their strings are 
not equal:



http://example.com/~user
http://example.com/%7Euser

Thus, to get parentheses inside the proposed syntax of 
xmlns(ns=http://namespace) there has to be used another trick or treat...
