On Namespaces:

"the xmlns attribute (not xmlns:x, just bare xmlns). However, as far as
the MicroXML data model is concerned, it's just another attribute. It
thus works in a very similar way to xml:lang: "

Lovely simple namespace change. How hard would it be to explain
inheritance to a newbie?  Ten times easier than the current system.

I don't see any utility in the ns prefix ideas though James? Just
more complexity? 

Wouldn't it be easier to require a transform back to XML 1.0 format?
