Miloslav Nic announced the creation of a Namespace reference at the Zvon site.

Nic noted a growing problem in XML:

"With increasing use of namespaces we were spending more and more time trying to find the right one"

The Zvon solution is simple: a searchable list of namespaces with a form at the bottom for developers who want to add their own namespaces to the list. Users can search by name, owner, description, or namespace URI (or in all of those) to find the namespace URI they need or to identify the one they've encountered.
