Several writers have suggested that architectural forms could be used to
solve the namespaces problem. Could someone who understands AFs rewrite
the example below to use AFs?

<XML>
<xml-namespace>
<ref>http://www.bigbookstore.com/schema</ref>
<as>bk</as>
</xml-namespace>

<xml-namespace>
<ref>http://www.w3.org</ref>
<as>w3</as>
</xml-namespace>

<bk:ORDERS>
<xml-namespace>
<ref>http://purl.org/dublincore</ref>
<as>dc</as>
</xml-namespace>

<xml-namespace>
<ref>http://www.shipping.com</ref>
<as>sh</as>
</xml-namespace>
