If you're not interested in the new syntax being a subset of XML and you still want namespaces, you'll want to consider an alternative way of mapping namespace prefixes to namespaces so that the mapping is available BEFORE it is required. Currently the mapping mechanism requires a fair bit of pre-fetching and caching which is sub-optimal.

Something like the following might work:

<:and http://www.whatever.com/:>
<and:harry />

Pete.
