It's a more formal way of putting it, but yes, that's right.  Creating a list
of prefix to URI mappings could cause problems if the same prefix pointed to
multiple URIs at different points in the document or vice-versa.  QNames are
probably the right place to do this, though I doubt it's much fun.

In any case, I'd like to see some kind of formal and preferably official
clarification of these issues.  c14n and the Infoset seem like the right
places
to me, but it looks like both consider QNames/prefixes as discarded.  (Infoset
does provide the namespace declarations needed to reconstruct them, however.) 
While it might be the right thing to do in terms of the Namespaces in XML
recommendation, it's not so good for Schemas and XLink.
