According to the XML spec, Element names are not allowed to start with "XML" (or any case variation thereof), yet when I call XML11Char.isXML11ValidName(String) with "xml" as an argument, the method returns true where I would have expected it to return false. I updated to 2.7.1 and got the same result.
Such names are reserved but they are not malformed. It is possible (though unlikely at this point) that the W3C will choose to define such names in the future with specific meanings. If you define such names yourself, you do so at your own risk that the W3C may come along later and use that same name for something completely different. However this was all set up before namespaces were invented, and I doubt the W3C will ever take advantage of this now.
