Actually, the phrase is "an http URI namespace".

I already provided an informal summary at:

I think Don asked me to provide a URL to the DocBook TC discussion 
about CALS and HTML tables, but I just don't know what he wants.
I checked my archives, and I don't see any discussion that compares
the two table models (but I could have missed it).  The DocBook TC
had users that wanted to be able to include both CALS and HTML tables
in the same source document, so we decided to augment the DocBook DTD
so that DocBook's <table> element's content model could be satisfied
by either a CALS or HTML table.  But I don't recommend this for DITA.

Here are some pointers to a couple threads that might be somewhat
relevant:
