We can't just use entities because & and ; aren't valid chars in element
names. We'd end up making up our own escaping sequence. While the
namespace seems hackish, we can let the XML parser do most of the work
for us so it might end up being easier.

I suppose we could do something like:
.x003a. and use an escape code for a literal period of .x002e.

That would probably be pretty easy too. But pretty specific to us.
