This doesn't make sense. Part of the use of the mode still is to determine 
what to do when the receiving element does not understand the namespace, that 
is, it thinks it needs a namespace but doesn't see one it understands. (This was 
the only use of the mode in version -04.) Becasue of this, the mode must be a 
function of the domain, or rather, of every element in the domain. It is not 
associated with a namespace. Each element must know what mode it is supposed 
to operate in independent of what namespace is being used.

Version -04 was based on an element or UAS operating in a specific mode and 
did not try to associate the mode with the namespace. This technical change is 
another reason why I believe that version -05 should be rejected.
