Names beginning with "xml"

What do we do about the statement in XML 1.0 that names beginning wiht
"xml" (in any case combination) are reserved for future standardization?
So far, we only have xml:*, xmlns, and xmlns:* in the XML stack in
element and attribute names and xml-style and xml-model PI targets.
Change control for these resides with the W3C XML Core WG.  They have been
very useful as an extension point: anyone who uses a name beginning with
"xml" for private purposes deserves to lose and need not be worried about.

Shall we put a similar remark into the MicroXML spec?
