Odd. I wonder why not.

That should work.

I don't know; how would that work? And what's wrong with the attribute?

Can you think of any important examples?

Somebody found a role attribute in DocBook... similar to the
XHTML profile element in some ways. I suggested he could put
a namespaceTransformation in the DocBook namespace document
to explain to GRDDL consumers how docbook role is like
xhtml profile.

I'd rather not burden GRDDL consumers with character-by-character
parsing of PIs, nor grounding PIs in URI space. I haven't found
any cases where it seems worthwhile to do so.
