At least for interfaces like SAX I think this default "user option" should be to strip namespace nodes. > Anyway, it's a rather obvious user option, so methinks there isn't all > that much need to mention it in the spec.

I would just argue that the default should be to strip for the sake of consistency among XML namespaces processors or else the option not to strip should be a proprietary feature of an XML namespaces processor and that formal conformance should be for namespace processors to strip namespace nodes before presenting them to the application.
