Yes, but couldn't that be treated simply as attribute (or same with element
name of course)
not belonging to any namespace, what's the danger of treating it that way?
I admit this isn't good practice to use name starting with colon but...

I made typos there meant of course:
<e x:test:a="" xmlns:x="ns"/>
but anyway couldn't this be treated as attribute called test:a
belonging to namespace ns. What's the danger of treating first found colon as
namespace separator and simply ignore the rest?
