If namespaces were expected to actually point to resources, then I think it would make lots of sense. Each version NS could point to a machine-readable document describing processing for that version. Unfortunately, we don't have the infrastructure (i.e., a format for describing such processing info) set up at this point. You could also use resources that included information on multiple versions, and then expect software to figure it out, but that seems even messier.
