The syntax rules for HTML (might be) a bit more flexible so perhaps

real life constrains html design perhaps more than SGML heritage
constrains XML design, as you know). So while it may be true that the
original motivation for prefixes doesn't apply to html, that wouldn't be
related to machine generated content.

attribute values, so compatibility with the HTML name syntax wouldn't be
an issue.
