Ok, thanks. It's not my private pickyness but that of Xerces ;) As  
this is probably one of the most used validating parsers i thought  
this alone may make an argument. We traced it down and found that  
xerces (2.9) would never validate a QName without the prefix being  
declared and for my personal opinion this is absolutely correct. - we  
surely didn't wanted to patch Xerxes if it's not really a bug.

But anyway the issue is resolved now.

My collegue Tobi Krebs sent a comment which unfortunately didn't reach  
the list. We've found another error through these test cases. The  
xforms variant of nonNegativeInteger is missing in the schema linked  
by the Spec. Result was that the one of the forms never showed a valid  
value.  (the latter relates to the 5.2.x test cases)

Thanks for the effort you and the WG put into clarifying these issues.
