I have suggested before, and suggest again, that any specification that allows the use of namespace prefixes in attribute content (for example XML Schema and XSLT/XPath) should provide an alternative syntax that uses the namespace URI in place of the prefix, thus at least giving users the option of creating documents that have no hidden dependencies on namespace prefixes.
