Actually, I am not convinced CURIEs would solve this problem since they 
are also context sensitive.  They rely upon @xmlns to define prefix 
mappings in XML grammars, and you can change @xmlns prefixes throughout 
a document.

I would, however, welcome a formal XSD datatype for CURIEs.  Right now 
we are defining one in terms of the XHTML datatype space.
