Personal view

I think there are only two aspects to this problem which are really 
important to me:

1. Every application using or built on XML should use the same definition 
for name equivalence, and it's the job of the NS REC to supply this definition.

2. Whatever resolution is arrived at should not force vendors with user 
bases and deployed software to declare independence from the W3C.

None of "literal", "make absolute" or "forbid" cause any difficulties for 
_my_ current or anticipated applications, provided they do not force 
compromise on either of the above.
