If you implemented unobtrusive namespaces (as I described them in Montreal) e.g. with XSLT, you'd add prefixes to the attributes. It's a way to say "in this context, this name should be associated with this namespace." My proposal does not handle conflicts -- in XML you'd have to use explicit namespaces in that case, and microxml wouldn't support the idea, I expect.
