Hi Ron,
Yes, I also think that the difficulty here is namespaces in content.
If I am not mistaken, (a) could be achieved with a schema (using the xs:QName type). Actually, for (b), one could argue that you even need a schema, to make sure you are not tampering with a substring which "happens" to match a bound prefix.
Kind regards,
Ghislain
