The suggestion adds complexity and reduces interoperability, and the WG decided not to make this change. 20114 2 mrys 2008-05-15 19:42:58 +0000 While I accept the resolution, I think that creating a new prefix would not impact interoperability, since prefixes are not information-bearing according to the XML Namespaces and XML Infoset recommendations.
