My experience is that namespaces are useful but far too often used without a real need. Some people seem to like complexity. I don't. Unless you want to live by a prefix only, you only need namespaces when you mix several XML languages, such as in the case of XSLT and XSL-FO (where you can mix in foreign content, such as SVG). In cases where I design my own simple XML, I avoid using them, to keep things simple. By the way: living by prefix only may be theoretically unsound, but, as an example, if your root element is xsl:stylesheet, and if it is being processed by an XSLT processor, then for all practical purposes it's obvious what the prefix xsl means.
