I think the Namespaces conformance clause is pretty clear: (1) your element
and attribute names can have at most one colon, (2) all other names must
have none, (3) prefixes beginning "xml" are reserved, (4) all other prefixes
must be properly declared, and (5) an element can't contain attributes a:foo
and b:foo if a and b are bound to the same namespace name.  That's it.
There is certainly no requirement to use prefixes or declarations.

It's still funny, associating namespace declarations with the Borg.
