Well, it's not a namespace, it's an algorithm identifier. It's generally the 
responsibility of XML Signature to define the algorithm URIs that are used 
within it, if it explicitly references them. Extensions that are outside the 
spec can define their own URIs, but ultimately there's no absolute guarantee 
that the defined URI would be maintained by a future version of XML Signature 
if it decided to reference that new algorithm, though it likely would if there 
was no good reason not to.

Of course, it's highly unlikely anybody would get their "stuff" together to 
actually do a new version of XML Signature, but to the extent there's a "way" 
of doing this stuff, that's how it would work.
