If primary and secondary are roles a vocabulary plays determined by whether it's the root element, then you're talking about vocabularies being sometimes being in a namespace, and sometimes not, depending on whether the the root element in the vocabulary is the root element in a document. That's arguably worse than a rule saying primary vocabs are fixed to the root and can't be embedded. Essentially you're mandating element names in a vocabulary must change if the vocabulary is the root element in a document. I've seen people do things like that, it's problematic at best.
