I'm sorry but I think this sentence

"maint" is used as an abbreviation for
"urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp:maintenance-1.0".


is misleading - it is used as, and only as, an example XML namespace
prefix, mapped to the URN. Which is just fine. It's not a general-purpose
abbreviation in this document. The word "abbreviation" does not appear in
the XML namespaces spec and this terminology would appear strange to an XML
practitioner.

The answer seems to be "but we use this wording in this whole family of
RFCs".  OK, my objection stands and I think this WG should abandon this
nonstandard and misleading language, but I guess my objection should be
non-blocking.
