This is not necessarily more verbose. I've often seen the use of entities (e.g. &nml; ) in XML attributes to do just that. Only problem is that often XML producers don't automatically include such a conversion.

I would prefer indeed option 3 or 2.

Using a separate namespace for defining those relations does make sense. I have no problem in defining it that way.
