"Reserved" isn't the same as "forbidden". I understood the desire to be
to forbid the name "xmlns" at the syntax level.
If we are to have no namespaces, that's a reasonable desire.
OTOH, we could allow "xmlns" and disallow colons, which would give us
namespaces for elements, but no need to verify them at the parser.
