My understanding is that no, they are not.  The URL is used as a unique
identifier, but there's no requirement that anything be located there.

    Reference: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/#dt-NSName

Do some tools expect to find something there anyway?

(Also, any reasons for all the cross-posting?  I tried to cut down a
little bit, but let me know if I should have kept all those addresses in
there.)
