Right. Insofar as RDF is concerned, which provides for a
concatenative mapping from qname to URI, you could do the
following:
<dav:creationdate xmlns:dav="dav:"/>
Where "dav:" is both a URI denoting the URI scheme, and an xmlns
prefix. Which is which is 100% clear in the XML syntax.
This gives the (RDF) URI "dav:creationdate" as desired and
provides for consistency between URI and qname representation.
Eh?
Though this doesn't help much in a non-RDF context where a
given qname is interpreted as just "{namespace}name" rather
than the concatenation "namespacename".
Cheers,
Patrick
