For example if we map html as the prefix for XHTML in our document
then we’d write it like:
<html:table><html:tr><html:td></html:td></html:tr></html:table>
But then we can write a selector such as:
“h|table > h|tr > h|td”
With a NSResolver that maps h to the same namespace as the html in
the primary document. This seems potentially confusing.
This is similar to how CSS and DOM Level 3 XPath deal with it. It
allows scripts to be written independently from the markup. Seems
useful to me.
Not only is it useful but any other way of doing is radically
useless. The whole point of prefixes is the indirection.
