I would almost rather try to harmonize the rules between XHTML and HTML if that's possible. For example, by declaring that in HTML and XHTML family documents CURIE prefixes are case-insensitive. This would be a significant change from the current recommendation, but I think it is unlikely that this change would actually adversely effect the triples generated by any existing pages. If a change like this needs to be made, obviously it should be made sooner than later. -- Shane P.
