My concern with doing this is that it looks like XML namespaces but isn't, 
and that will just add to the confusion rather than reduce it.  It's not 
really shortening a description of XML namespaces, but adding an extra 
section along the lines of "...unless it's a namespace used in MicroXML, in 
which case ignore what I just told you and handle at the application level 
like this..."
