There lies a trap. Those two might be different types.

<data type="xsd:qname">
  <param name="enumeration" value="foo:foo" />
</data>

<data type="xsd:qname">
  <param name="enumeration" value="foo:foo" />
</data>

You can't tell whether "foo:foo" is a qname unless you know something
about xsd:qname.


But one can certainly argue that this is a corner case.
