My point was that things like

    <http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform/for-each select="foo">
	<http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform/element name="bar">
	    <http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform/apply-templates/>
	</http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform/element>
    </http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform/for-each>


would never have flown anyway, regardless of conflicts
with other XML delimiters.  "For compatibility with SGML"
is at best a secondary issue.
