RE: treatment of ns prefixes by intermediaries

Given that the DOM exposes the [prefix] property of EIIs ( and AIIs ) via the prefix property of the Node interface I do not understand why you would draw that conclusion.

 Doesn't this mean that someone cannot use a DOM parser to impl an
 intermediary? That sucks.
 
 What about ns prefixes of qualified attributes? Are those also
 infoset properties of AIIs? If so the same problem with many parsers
 I assume.
