Just to clarify, that "Not" there is really "Note" :)

Note that it would be *theoretically* possible given a document conforming to
XML 1.0 but not to the namespaces rec to have an element the name of which would
contain a colon. In that case I guess that foo\:bar would be the right way to do
it. I'd think however that anyone foolish enough to use such a vocabulary may be
considered to get what they deserve if implementations fail to style it.
