That is, I would turn allow the namespace-prefixes

collect prefixes,
This is somewhat outside my knowledge, but one difference, I believe, between HEAD and Alt-Design is the former's ability to have user-configured, run-time add-in element mappings. (I think we have one for MathML and another one for something else in our examples.) Given that, could that be HEAD's reason for needing to collect prefixes?
I don't think so. Prefixes are a shorthand convenience - they must be supported by underlying full namespaces. Prefixes are unstable, in that the same3 prefix can signify completely different namespaces at different points in the file, IIUC.
