But this is where we started: the bogus prefix has to be "xml" if and only
if the URI is the XML namespace - so I need conditional logic to allocate a
valid bogus prefix, which then plays no part in the logic for finding the
attribute.

If that's what I have to do, so be it - but it seems a poor API design.
