At the moment, element names like foo:bar are not allowed in MicroXML,
which is what I was trying to express.  The only way to give an element
a namespace is using the xmlns attribute.  Attributes are allowed to
have prefixes and are bound with xmlns:foo attributes, as in XML.

In any case, the work proposed for xml:* elements is now being done by
xml-* PIs, and MicroXML accommodates them just fine.
