Um, namespace-aware parsers have no problem parsing markup without namespaces. :-) I'm talking about mandating their inclusion in the next version of the core XML recommendation, not requiring their usage in XML version N. Starting from a foundation where namespaces are known to always exist makes it easier to write specifications and use any random XML parser for any random use. Z.
