I'd like to solicit reactions to a proposal to define an informal standard for binding namespaces in strings containing XPath expressions.
Using a special comment has the advantage that XPath processors that don't understand the notation will ignore it (though I freely admit that "meaningful comments" have their drawbacks). It avoids use of quotes which makes it easy to embed in an XML attribute, and it uses space to delimit the URI - although there is no absolute ban on having a space in a namespace URI, there are already plenty of things that will break if you do it, so it's unlikely to cause any new problems.
The James Clark notation has been around for a while and regularly re-used?
