Could you give an example of such a "clash" or how mechanisms to avoid
them could look like? Selectors can match any namespace, any element
name, any attribute name, any attribute value, so long as the match does
not depend on looking for a U+0000 character at any point in the tree. I
can't really think of changes to XML or XML Namespaces that require CSS
authors to take steps to avoid any kind of problem, or a revision of CSS
to take those changes into account, so long as XML documents are tree
structures.
