Hi again, Qin.
Just closing on the one remaining point.

>A user tag is:

>or
>- any tag that has no prefix at all
>Thus, and for the avoidance of confusion, the colon (":") when it appears
for the first time, is always assumed to be the separator between a prefix
and the rest of the tag. And so, when a user tag does not have a prefix, it
MUST NOT contain a colon.
[Qin Wu] Your understanding is correct, if you think I should add some text
to make this more clear, I am happy to do so.
Maybe just a sentence. I know that my confusion is not indicative of the
state of the average reader, but maybe there are others who would be just as
confused.
