I think that I might have caused a little confusion here. I am *not* suggesting an alternative to namespaces -- I support namespaces in principle, and expect that they would still be used in the individual documents. What I'm explaining is a simpler and more obvious solution to the specific problem of multiple processes constructing a single XML document (this was the motivating example that brought in local scoping -- namespace prefixes that are in force for only part of an XML document).
