Ah - now I can see it in the recommendation - I had overlooked that - thanks. Although this isn't as arbitrary as it might seem. While xmlns="" is described as cancelling the default declaration, another way to look at it (which is essentially the way XPath looks at it) is to say that it binds the null prefix to the null namespace. After that <x/> isn't an error it just denotes x in no namespace. Conversely if xmlns:x="" were allowed to unbind the prefix x:x then <x:x/> would go from being namespace well formed to being a namespace error.
