there may well be reasons to bind the origianl literal prefix to the "name instance". this is not one of them. serialization prettiness and speed can well be viewed as diametrically opposed. where speed is of the utmost, then all that matters is that serializer guarantee requisite prefix uniqueness and the correctness of prefix/uri bindings. to this end, a storage model which binds a unique token to a namespace instance and binds the namespace instance to the "name instance" suffices. where the namespace instance also statically binds its uri, this form of "name" obviates the need for a directly binding the uri to the name. where prettiness is important, an optional interface to the serializer can well specify the prefixes to be used for the respective namespaces. in either case, no "figuring out" is required.
