Description

This is similar to DFDL-660, in that I believe this validation error is preventing 'acceptable' namespaces from working.

Note: (W3C XML Documentation I've been using - See "Names and Tokens")

According to this, ':' should be acceptable in namespace names, both as the starting character and any other character. However, when I try this, the test fails with:

[info] org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Element or attribute do not match QName production: QName::=(NCName':')?NCName.

Also, should we be able to use XML character entities in namespace names? I believe it should be allowed but I get the same error as above when I try it.
