Aside from the issue of mixing parser context (the URI parser knows nothing about qnames and the XML parser can't reliably peek into every element attribute looking for things that might be qnames), there is also the extensibility of URI schemes that must be considered. Therefore, a qname must not be allowed anywhere that a normal URI is expected. ....Roy
