OK, but it does make me wonder what should happen when a
MicroXML parser tries to read an XML document that contains
prefixes. Surely if we get that right, it will at least be able to parse
it, even if it cannot resolve the prefix or distinguish a prefixed name
from a non-prefixed name. (If so, that would satisfy my user story,
wouldn't it?)
