Although the xml and xmlns prefixes are predefined for use in XML, 
neither the Selectors spec, nor the CSS Namespace Module predefine them 
for use with Selectors in CSS.  There is no reason why this should be 
any different for Selectors used in this API.  If you still disagree, 
then I suggest you take up the issue with the CSS WG, as it would be 
more appropriate to address the issue in either Selectors or the CSS 
Namespace Module, if at all.
