My approach was similar, but didn't rely on a QName-syle approach
because of some brittleness there. Here's how I did it [1]:
root.createElement( "use", { href:[ xlinkns, "#my_circle" ], x:30,
y:"-30" } );

I would like to move away from the use of the XLink NS, since the
promise of the XLink spec never really materialized. There are
complications, but I think we can do it.
I don't think the idea of namespaced attributes is going to go away, so
a good generic API will have to handle them.
