No, you have 3 uses of the xmlns() scheme in each of your ten XPointers.
The xmlns declarations in the embedding document are irrelevant; after all,
that document need not be XML at all: it could be plain text, HTML, PDF, or
hard copy.

"The humans fear what they do not understand."

-- 
And through this revolting graveyard of the universe the muffled, maddening
beating of drums, and thin, monotonous whine of blasphemous flutes from
inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond Time; the detestable pounding
and piping whereunto dance slowly, awkwardly, and absurdly the gigantic
tenebrous ultimate gods --  the blind, voiceless, mindless gargoyles whose soul
is Nyarlathotep. (Lovecraft) John Cowan|jcowan@r...|ccil.org/~cowan
