You should not use any fixed prefix followed by a colon. Things followed by
colons should only be namespace prefixes (see XML 1.0 specification), and
namespace prefixes are arbitrary - it is the URI associated with the prefix
that is significant.

If XTM is to have its own namespace, then it should specify a URI that
identifies that namespace, but it cannot mandate a particular prefix (though
it can SUGGEST one!).

In that case, let's go for an "xtm:" prefix instead, which was the original
proposal.
