I seem to remember from way back a lot of discussion about how you would be able to use elements from another namespace or schema, if they weren't qualified somehow. That might have been mostly about inserting XML fragments from one document into another, I don't remember too clearly. It would have lead to not wanting to default namespaces to that of the parent element.

The idea didn't catch on, but the schema spec was written in the belief that this was the way forwards.
