Wrong.  They have different *syntax* rules.  At the end of the day, 
every element & attribute always has a local part, and may or may not 
have a namespace name - whether the namespace name was defaulted or 
explicit is typically never of concern to someone processing the data 
downstream (with the exception of editor-class applications). -Tim
