True, but this gets even further away from human readability, which I 
think is an important design goal of both XML and RDF-XML. Having 
"real" names is better for debugging, better for the users, and better 
for RDF as a whole. I think Tim Bray is right about "View Source" -- 
it's definitely how I began to figure out HTML.
