They are different element types in the XML 1.0 sense, but they all
have the same name in the Namespaces sense.  Namespaces is a separate
layer above XML 1.0, and doesn't change the earlier spec.

The same thing could happen with architectural forms:

  <foo myarch="bar"/>
  <hack myarch="bar"/>
  <bar myarch="bar"/>

These are all instantiations of the "bar" architectural form in the
"myarch" architecture, but each needs a separate declaration in the
DTD.


All the best,


David
