Well, it doesn't really "matter" depending on how you look at it, but in
general it's inappropriate to claim big chunks of namespace in other
people's domains. I thought this was obvious but I suppose the examples
need to state it explicitly.

The main practical thing you lose is the convenience of people being
able to plug those URIs into a browser and actually getting to
information.

That said, we can perhaps establish chunks of namespace at lv2plug.in if
people want them, but you at least have to ask :P Maybe we should use
PURLs or set up a similar simple redirect service at lv2plug.in for
people who don't have a long-term stable namespace to use...

You control http://avwlv2.sourceforge.net/, calf uses its sourceforge
URI.
