Inkscape Experimental R&D

• (DONE) Describe what needs to be done to fix ambiguous default namespace issue [mental]

We need to disambiguate between qnames that have no namespace and qnames in the default namespace (normally SVG's). Since internally we use a standard set of prefixes with qnames rather than expanded names, this means using e.g. "svg:g" and "svg:svg" instead of "g" and "svg" everywhere to name SVG elements. Note that namespaces are normalized to our standard prefix mappings at load time, so that does not itself constitute a compliance issue. -- MenTaLguY?
