One is in the namespace bound to the prefix, the children are in the default namespace. It may be that you have xmlns="xxx" and xmlns:prefix="xxx" so these are the same namespace, but in that case it would seem clearer to either prefix all of them or none. You could add the neamespace declarations automatically in a DTD or schema but the namespace REC explicitly warns against doing that as it means that the namespace of the elements depends on the processor finding and reading the DTD.
