One could also think that prefixed tags are random tags in general.

Is it because you are thinking globally w.r.t. multiple mixings? Such as
<m:tag> <n:tag>...</n:tag> </m:tag>?

(I am not sure what IE does if n: is attached to a plug-in.)

If it just for the single MathML containment, the starting patch that I 
made emulates what IE+MathPlayer does:

<html xmlns:m="mathml-namespace">, then
<m:math>...</m:math> in the document

or

<math xmlns="mathml-namespace">...</math>
with no need for a declaration in <html>

(So it is a proof-of-concept of that emulation, and as the patch showed, 
not that invasive to emulate.)
