Architectural Forms instead of Namespaces

[Andrew Layman]

Several writers have suggested that architectural forms could be used to
solve the namespaces problem.  Could someone who understands AFs rewrite
the example below to use AFs?

<XML>
	<xml-namespace>
	  <ref>http://www.bigbookstore.com/schema</ref>
	  <as>bk</as>
	</xml-namespace>

	<xml-namespace>
	  <ref>http://www.w3.org</ref>
	  <as>w3</as>
	</xml-namespace>

	<bk:ORDERS>
		<xml-namespace>
		  <ref>http://purl.org/dublincore</ref>
		  <as>dc</as>
		</xml-namespace>

		<xml-namespace>
		  <ref>http://www.shipping.com</ref>
		  <as>sh</as>
		</xml-namespace>
