It also would appear to work counter to the modularity goal, that distinct processes be able to augment a document without knowledge of the prefixes used by other processes. It's just the flip-side of different URI's bound to the same prefix: if the URI's already have registered prefixes in order that the application can pick the uniquely correct one, then the registry can constrain the prefixes to avoid collisions. If you intended to say, that two distinct prefixes may not be simultaneously associated with a given URI, that's a slightly different story, but it has the same ending. xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
