I haven't had a chance to read up on the context for this, but I wanted
to chime in to say that the JSF spec should never associate behavior
with namespace prefixes. The spec should only associate behavior with
namepsaces. Sure, the spec can recommend conventions for namespace
prefix mappings. However, our users should always be free to define
their own mappings.
If we have cases in the spec where we require that a namespace prefix
has some meaning regardless of how that prefix is mapped, we need to fix
this.
