No. In the Infoset, an Element Information Item has a property called
Namespace Name, which gives you the namespace URI part of the element's
name. You only need the in-scope namespaces property if you want to find a
prefix associated with that namespace URI, or if you want to find the
namespace URI associated with a prefix that appears somewhere other than in
an element or attribute name.
