Not exactly although I agree that when using 
XML as The GUI, it looks the same.  The namespace 
should enable me to stay consistent with the 
driving schema.  I can get it for free using 
the elementFormDefault switch, yes?  Now, 
if the editor is aware of the namespace, 
I should be able to get it from the GUI too,
yes?

Right.  That changeability thing is a bear.  
At least for XML Schemas, we do have online 
resources to suggest what the best practices 
are.  That's a good start when using XML 
Schemas.  How much of it relates to other 
schema languages, or to just markup in general 
is not something I've given much thought to.

There is an abvious difference here, but how about between

   <nikon:lens/>

and

   <lens manufacturer="Nikon"/>

?

The information content is the same right?

I'd agree with the assertion, except for all the other factors your brought 
up. Markup design is a compromise between purity and practicality, and the 
balance changes over time.
