Great.  So now I get to do the namespace declaration three times?  (Once with 
the PI, once with the XSC:Namespace just to document the ns, and once in the 
document itself?)  Talk about redundancy!

Forget it.  This one's staying where it is, unless I hear from an angry crowd. 
 And yes, you could document both the ns info and the prefix if you felt like 
it.
