I don't see why you're referring to NCName here -- that's used for
attribute names in XML, not attribute values.

But even if you did do something that was an error in XML but not an
error in CSS, you'd just end up with the result that nothing would be
matched since no document could have that namespace (or whatever).  I
don't see why that's a problem -- it's completely interoperable behavior.
