I don't like the assumption in that last sentence John?
  If (most) see colons in a name, they assume namespaces are valid?

Point taken about needing xlink_href, can anyone think of a way round that?
Or should we simply allow xlink:href as a name as opposed to a qname?

  How wrong could it go if we 'assume' that href means xlink:href, when
transforming from uxml to html5?

If you have wiki access (who does? ) could we create an issues page please?
