Re: PROV-ISSUE-553: QNames are too restrictive as identifiers [XML Serialization]

Hi Stephan,

If we didn't require the xml validator to check a prefix is properly 
declared, then
we could define a grammar for qualified names.
But if we require the xml validator to check the validity of a prefix, 
then, I agree
with your analysis.
