Hm, interesting. Let me see if I get this right.

You'd like to keep xmlns as a reserved attribute that specifies
"roles" (or whatever you might call them). You want to do away with
colonified names and context (elements don't inherit their ancestors'
xmlns attributes) and you want to make xmlns part of the visible
content model again.

So instead of /a:foo/b:bar, you'd write
/foo[@xmlns='a-role']/bar[@xmlns='b-role']

Interesting.

Ari.
