The “validate and extract” algorithm currently uses “strictly split” to split the qualified name on U+003A (:), which splits on every colon. For a qualified name like `"foo:bar:baz"`, that produces prefix `"foo"` and local name `"bar"` — silently discarding the `":baz"` part.
This change splits on the first colon only instead, so the local name is `"bar:baz"`.
This came up in https://github.com/WICG/sanitizer-api/issues/373.
Fixes #1453
