It would be in the same namespace as the parent. E.g. if you had said orderedlist implied a docbook namespace, then a lst element, and a para within that would be ins the same namespace without you having to say anything. Validation using an existing schema would involve first adding the namespace URLs explicitly (e.g. with XSLT, a transformation that would read the namespace file and apply the namespaces to the instance), so that then if you'd forgotten an element that mattered, you'd find the error.
