From http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml, Section 2.3
[Definition: A Name is .... Names beginning with the string "xml",
or any string which would match (('X' | 'x') ('M' | 'm') ('L' |
'l')), are reserved for standardization in this or future versions
of this specification.]
I am finding it difficult to parse this definition.
It is obvious that xmlxxx is a reserved name, as is XmL. Is, however,
XmLxxx a reserved name? The definition can be read in two ways, one that
indicates that it is and one that indicates that it is not.
