In general: Is there some new information here that motivates revisiting
these decision?
Variable names: I don't think NCNames are a good match here. I expect
people to want to support spaces in variables, for instance. In a PS,
you can add some sort of quoting.
Profile names: We have profile names? I don't remember them. Where are
they in the syntax?
Prefixes: I'm pretty sure these don't occur in the XML.
