What are the benefits of using a namespace, such as 'flow'?

In the past week I started to delved thru several blogs, livedocs and api articles on TLF, and noticed in some XML data to be used in TLF uses a namespace, such as 'flow'.  What benefits are there currently and/or in the near future of using them?  And is it advisably to have exisiting data to use a namespace?

By the way, this framework gives me goosebumps.   Can't wait to start producing some work from it.

The main reason to use a namespace is if you want to use some of your elements, and don't want to have to worry about name collisions. But you can make the tlf namespace (or any other) the default namespace, and then you don't have to use the flow: prefix everywhere.

Glad you're looking forward to writing code on TLF! Let us know how it goes for you.

Thanks,

I understand now.  I just want to make sure that I can reap the benefits of TLF without namespaces in my XML.  Thanks.
