Anchoring the namespace name in http://www.w3.org/ should allow to devise a unique not yet used namespace name, what I would really miss is the ease to spot and uniqueness of the "xml" prefix. That helps a lot at least for human brain acceptance and visual recognition... the point is that nobody could use "xml:id" for anything before and the meaning is kind of obvious for most XML user.
