Yea, but it's a hack. It only works if you know ahead of time which
prefix(es) will be used for which namespaces. The prefixes themselves
can (and often are) completely arbitrary. What's important is the
lexically closest binding of a namespace URI to that prefix.

These are equivalent:

<x xmlns="ns://foo"/>
<a:x xmlns:a="ns://foo"/>
<b:x xmlns:b="ns://foo"/>

But not equivalent to these:

<x/>
<a:x xmlns:a="ns://bar" xmlns="ns://foo"/>
