The trick is to include create a parameter entity for the element or
attribute names, assemble the prefix and the name there, and then make the
declaration using the assembled PE.
This apparently lets you slide through with no space under section 4.4.5 as
'reference in literal' rather than 4.4.8.
This came up back in March, and this seemed to be the accepted answer. (I
started out thinking it was prohibited.) I don't think it lets you go as
far as leaving out the colon and having no prefix, though that could
probably be accomplished with an additional INCLUDE/IGNORE section for each
declaration...
