I agree with the other David, that long-term we need to be able to use

Please explain why?
It makes no sense for the xmpp community to base it's protocol on what
XML works with some set of XML tools. What if their interruption of
XML spec if incorrect? You know people of interpreted a spec wrong
once or twice in the past ;-)
Your only hope in convincing us that prefix sanitization
is not a server job is if you can show that non-fatal handling of bad
prefixes is near universal among XML parsers. I'll admit I don't
know what
the majority of parsers do. Maybe we should poll XML parser
developers, as
well as determine W3C's intent.
Seriously we need to decide what makes the best protocol, not the best
XML document. We are developing the XMPP protocol not the W3C. In-
fact, I do believe they got out of the protocol game.
