Agreed.

It makes every sense to delay this operation until we know just which
attribute values represent names. Blindly interning every attribute
value just in case it's a name, and worse yet, assuming that every
attribute value of the form foo:bar *is* a name, is inefficient
and perhaps incorrect.
