If you use a HTTP URI as namespace, it should really point to the schema
in question, so that it can be fetched remotely (see
http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform for example, although that is just
a stub schema).
For XSLTs where that isn't needed (or not needed yet), I tend to just
use URNs. For bison you could use "urn:x-gnu:bison:2.3b" or something.
