It should also be made possible for the local wikibase
to use local prefixes
other than 'P' and 'Q' for its own local properties and items, otherwise
it
makes things needlessly confusing -- but currently I think this is not possible.
I
think the opposite is the case: ending up with a zoo of prefixes, with items
being called A73834 and F0924095 and Q98985 and W094509, would be very
confusing. The current approach is to to use the same approach that RDF and XML
use: add a kind of namespace identifier in front of "foreign" identifiers. So
you would have Q437643 for "local" items, xy:Q8743 for items from xy,
foo:Q873287 for items from foo, etc. This is how foreign IDs are currently
implemented in Wikibase.
