Well, there are two different issues:

1) Using URIs for disambiguation, and

2) Using a prefix-URI mapping to make things more compact.

The reasons for 2) would be readability and compactness, but would make 
processing the content much more complex. I don't believe it's needed here.

Re 1) -- well, if you have URI-based identifiers to start with, there's 
little choice. You could declare the problem to be an SOP, in which case 
you shouldn't even look at the draft. Or one could introduce yet another 
indirection mechanism (-> 2).
