It's disputable if the current way is not compliant.

Changing that might break clients that query the capabilities for the presense
of GetPrint if we'd applied a (less-disputable ;)) compliant prefix (ie.
GetPrint to qgis:GetPrint).

Note that this would only apply to the name of the operation element in
capabilities, the actual request wouldn't need to changed.

So it's unclear to me if there are actually any clients that would break.

At least some already use GetProjectSettings, others might just imply GetPrint
without checking GetCapabilities - both groups wouldn't be affected.

The clients that check capabilities would just need to look for qgis:GetPrint
instead or alternatively of GetPrint - and that should just be a trivial
change, when 2.4 is deployed.

Also there are probably not that many clients around that actually use
GetPrint.
