My goof ... some other examples I tried get rejected
however, including ":some:long:xml_1.0:names".

I'm seeking an accurate description of the syntax that
IE5 supports, and "XML 1.0" doesn't seem to be it ... 
neither does "XML 1.0 but requiring XML namespaces".

Prefixes in the DTD can be declared, but in this case they
weren't ... more to the point, they didn't need to be!!
