This would be a huge step in usability for all the W3C specs.

Heck, it could even be: "w3c:xlink", right?  And "w3c:xhtml", "wc3:svg", etc. 
As an occasional XML author, that would save me from having to google things 
like "xhtml namespace" every time I need to write an XHTML document (and similar 
for svg, etc) or having to find some document to copy-paste from.

I would love for this to happen.
