I'd have to call those some seriously buggy parsers, if they're
validating. I don't see anything in Namespaces in XML which
countenances that behavior. Given that xml:lang and xml:space have to
be declared for use in valid documents, I don't see much precedent
either.

urn:oid:1.3.6.1.4.1.6320 is another possibility altogether
