I hope we won't need one in our data model.  The only reason I included it
in the infoset profile is to provide the information about which element
information item is the root element.

Yup.  I think there's a strong case for prefixed attributes. But if we
allow attribute names to be prefixed, it's not yet clear to me whether
allowing or disallowing prefixed element names makes things simpler.

I don't think there's anything MicroXML should do here.
