My concern with doing this is that it looks like XML namespaces but isn't,
and that will just add to the confusion rather than reduce it. It's not
really shortening a description of XML namespaces, but adding an extra
section along the lines of "...unless it's a namespace used in MicroXML, in
which case ignore what I just told you and handle at the application level
like this..."
