The content of ev:event is a QName that follows the namespace defaulting
rules that apply to attributes. This would be in the spec except that
the XML Events chapter has disappeared (sic), or it would be in the XML
Events 1.1 draft except I don't see that the Forms WG (or HTML WG, I can
never remember) has published it (sic).
Either way, the 'click' above is in no namespace, also denoted {}click
for clarity.
