The O'Reilly book "XML in a Nutshell" says on page 64:

"Namespace URIs do not necessarily point to an actual document or page."

...although a couple of sentences later:

"However, if you define your own namespace using an http URI, placing 
documentation for the specification at the namespace URI would not be a bad 
idea."

...then finally:

"You are by no means required to do this, though."

Hope this helps,
