Heck, while we are here, why don't we just do:
xmlns:f="jsf:core"
xmlns:h="jsf:html"
xmlns:ui="jsf:ui"
I'm trying to think if there are problems with doing that, but we can
associate the schema with these shorter names. The real benefit of using a
full-blown URI is that you can avoid conflicts w/ other namespace providers.
But since we are JSF (there can be only one JSF, evil laugh) then why not?
I like this idea... For a long time I've thought it was silly to use a
full-blown URL when it isn't necessary; I've been using URNs for my own
namespaces for a while.
At any rate, the main issue here is consistency with the rest of Java EE --
we should be careful here.
