So that is one disadvantage of URIs: they are long. In fact they

Moreover, having to look up the URIs is a major pain when writing
software that processes namespaced XML. I can remember "xhtml",
"xlink" or "svg", but I can't remember the namespace URIs. What
random year do they contain? Is there a slash in the end?
I always use copy & paste. So I really don't care a lot.
I always copy & paste, too. That's my point. Namespace waste my time
almost every day.
I don't need to copy and paste when I write "href" or "p". Those I can
memorize with confidence that I memorize them right.
