I seem to remember from way back a lot of discussion about how you would be
able to use elements from another namespace or schema, if they weren't
qualified somehow.  That might have been mostly about inserting XML
fragments from one document into another, I don't remember too clearly.  It
would have lead to not wanting to default namespaces to that of the parent
element.

omeone, I think, had the bright idea that if a container element is
in a namespace

<svg:svg xmlns:svg="http://svg.com/">
    <rectangle/>
    <circle/>
</svg:svg>

then there is no good reason why its children need to be in a
namespace: like attributes, they are scoped by the container. The
idea didn't catch on, but the schema spec was written in the belief
that this was the way forwards.
