If anybody has tried this then please help me out. I don't think this question has a simple answer. I know that the DOM working group has wrestled with the question of how to define a clean interface to namespaces for a long time. We initially made the "prefixes are not significant" interpretation, then found that it's not quite so simple. XPath/XSLT has a rather different conception than the DOM, and prefixes *are* significant in Canonical XML. Furthermore, as readers of this list know, XML Schemas may have introduced some new complexities. I think the answers will come from experience, and we need to share our experiences so that something like the Common XML Namespaces document can be written. (I've politely asked Outlook to really really pretty please send this in plain text ... if it is in HTML, my abject apologies!)
