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..."
