If this is indeed the case, as it appears to be, then namespaces have no real meaning outside of the xxx: prefix. namespaces become nothing more (or less :-) than a standard naming mechanism for tags. the namespace referenced urn is nothing more than an arbitrary statement of who is supposed to own the "xxx:" namespace prefix. the only solution (if one is needed) is to reserve use of ':' in element names and require conforming parsers to place elements in namespaces based upon [namespace]:[tagname] which would break the behavior of most current parsers. OTOH this would allow namespace prefix resolution to the specified urn.
