Granted, but it is still necessary to publish the current
prefix->URI map, as things that are semantically interpretable by a
specific application as QNames may appear in #PCDATA content, CDATA
attribute values, PI content, or other such places where
an unassisted parser cannot detect and decode them.  The application
must therefore determine the URI itself.

This is already true of the SAX attribute map, as the SAX documentation
warns; in fact, parsers are free to reuse the same object for *every*
attribute map.
