These two (along with id) are often the only attributes which have a mandatory external namespace. When specifying valid attributes, it is ugly and awkward to say that one has a colon in the middle of its name. But not using the external namespace can lead to compatibility problems. (This is probably worst with id, because of the role of id, but it is always awkward.) -jJ
