I thought the normal style of this list was first name terms?
Anyhow David Durand seems to have answered for me, so I won't say a lot
else except to note that essentially the only feature of namespace
names explicitly specified by the current rec is the literal
comparison, that is the only feature used by the rec and (for absolute
URI) it is the only feature used by xpath or xslt as well.
That, along with repeated clarifications of "a namespace name is just
a name" by your co editors and chair and other members of the old XML
WG, does I claim mean that my previous description was perfectly
justified, although it was of course a paraphrase of the wording in
the spec.
