It's just what the xmlspec stylesheet produces for <var>I</var>.

I'm not sure why it's I.  It may be because 1.0 2e was derived from
1.1, where it's an IRI, not a URI.  We could change it to U.

At some point, we'll have to consider the fate of Namespaces 1.1 in
the light of whatever happens to XML 1.1.
