And in that context, it makes more sense.  The XML processor must
accept colons in names:

- When namespaces are used, 0 or 1 may be present in a qualified name
(to separate the prefix from the local name).

- When namespaces are not used, any number may be present, but they
are not interpreted in any way.

Yes, the specification says "don't do that", and the implementation
protects you from being misled by an accident of implementation into
thinking that's how TAL works.  ;-)  (Yes, there are TAL
implementations that might not use Expat as the XML parser; Petal, for
instance, probably uses libxml2.)
