No, it's not a mess.
The XML 1.0 specification said that colon in names was reserved for a
future namespace mechanism. XML Namespaces defined that mechanism.
That was how it was supposed to work, and that was how it did work.
XML isn't a way for you to use some random syntax you've made up
and call it standard. If you want to be compatible with XML-based
software, you have to follow the specifications.
