My conclusions are the exact opposite: the lack of support for qnames in 
  the vast majority of XML processing tools DOES justify looking for an 
alternative. We shouldn't repeat past mistakes.

As I pointed out in my response to Karl, a more robust solution would 
simply to use the full URIs wherever you have currently specified qnames 
or CURIEs.
