As things stand today people consider that the ability to use XML
correctly is expert-level. Don't ask me why, I think it's trivial, but
that's the way it is. You can charge pretty good prices as a
consultancy just knowing how namespaces work; I should know, I do XML
consulting. I don't think that allowing people to use a syntax they
already know is going to make that any worse.
