The other option is to define a different id:localName separator.

I'm a bit perplexed as to why you're not thinking along the lines of
hierarhical URN/URL structure here. An example from an emerging U.S.
federal government namespace recommendations document:
The Department of Defense (DoD). DoD has dod.gov registered;
conse-quently, the available XML URN is: urn:us:gov:dod. DoD would have
the option to further delineate this URN to accommodate its individual
agencies:
- urn:us:gov:dod:don
- urn:us:gov:dod:don:navy
- urn:us:gov:dod:don:usmc
- urn:us:gov:dod:doa
