    Results may vary depending on your XMl processor.

    From the NT-Names definition:

    The Namespaces in XML Recommendation [XML Names] assigns a meaning to names 
containing colon characters.
Therefore, authors should not use the colon in XML names except for 
namespace purposes, but XML processors must accept the colon as a name character.
