I don't know what they are doing with the data. For all I know, they are
running it through "grep", which is just what I do when classifying stories
against profiles (call me the Desperate Fgrep Hacker).
Any document that uses namespaces in a sane way does not *need* the prefix-URI
mapping, for there is a one-to-one relationship between prefixes and namespace
names in such a document.
