Well, in the given example there isn't an _XML_ problem, since we *know*
that there won't be any name collisions. The problem comes about
if you tried to combine RSS with another XML vocabulary whose elements
also resided in the nil namespace.

There is one _SOAP_ problem with above example, and that is some
WSDL tools require that the element directly inside the 
soap:Body be in a non-nil namespace.
