[MOBY-l] Policy on the use of prefix 'moby'?

[Paul Gordon]

I have found many variations on this theme from different services, 
including non-prefixed Simple tags.  I think the good old Web mantra 
applies here: be strict in what you produce, and forgiving in what you 
accept.  In the Java peer-to-peer implementation (which I'll commit this 
week, honest) I accept objects like this with no namespace as being MOBY 
semantics.  Sends a shiver down my spine...
