Why not PIs for namespace declarations?

[Frank Boumphrey]

In fact if you look at the working Drafts you will see that namespaces used
PI'sright up to the final recomendation!

1. My understanding is that they were abandoned to allow scoping.
2. A mecanism to not scope attributes was wanted.
3. there was a general feeling that PI's were 'broken'
