Personally, I'd be very happy if namespaces could actually be factored out
of it all.  That's where XML documents start losing human readability,
unless everyone follows the same standard for the local name (Page Templates
work because almost everyone uses tal: and metal:, but there's nothing
stopping people from using t: and m:, or x: and y:).
