/ John Cowan <jcowan@r...> was heard to say:
| No.  The "xml" prefix gets a namespace as a matter of convenience,
| but is itself magic.  To assume otherwise would hurt interoperability.
| The same is true of the "xmlns" prefix.

And of any prefix that begins [Xx][Mm][Ll], no?

(I mean, any prefix that begins with 'xml' in any case is by
definition magic and reserved for future use.)

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
