which are not in any namespace" are unnecessarily and unreasonably paradoxical. 
 
Absolutely. James Clark got round this quite neatly in XPath 1.0, I think, by referring to the "thing that is not a namespace" as "the null namespace". We need a name for it, and we can use that phrase without having to agree on whether the thing is or is not a namespace.
