Mmh, with URI escaping, I think there would be no problem.
Florent, a bit of a belated reply, but I just reread this thread and
couldn't resist: URI escaping cannot be applied to a namespace. A
namespace is a string and no escaping is done or undone upon comparison.
The following two namespaces are NOT equal, because their strings are
not equal:
http://example.com/~user
http://example.com/%7Euser
Thus, to get parentheses inside the proposed syntax of
xmlns(ns=http://namespace) there has to be used another trick or treat...
