I'll take that as an opportunity that XMLNS 1.1's definition of IRIs include

- the space character (breaking XML schema's schemaLocation attribute) and
- "{" and "}" (breaking the current popular practice to use ("{" + ns + "}"
+ localname) to build unique identifiers from XML element names (JAXP API).
