I don't think the point is saving keystrokes. The point is reducing errors and easing maintenance. Namespace URIs can be long and unfriendly (like uuid:); having to put the same URI in multiple places in a single document is error-prone and makes maintenance harder. (Yes, I know you could use entities, but entities aren't part of everybody's long term vision for XML.) Since use of a prefix would be most convenient for XSLT 1.1 and use of a namespace URI would be most convenient for SVG and other applications that may be generated using XSLT 1.0, could we have an implements attribute whose value is a union type, either a NCName or a URIReference? If relative URI's are explicitly prohibited for script namespaces, there would be no overlap of their lexical space. XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
