No, you have 3 uses of the xmlns() scheme in each of your ten XPointers.
The xmlns declarations in the embedding document are irrelevant; after all,
that document need not be XML at all: it could be plain text, HTML, PDF, or
hard copy.

"The humans fear what they do not understand."

And through this revolting graveyard of the universe the muffled, maddening
beating of drums, and thin, monotonous whine of blasphemous flutes from
inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond Time; the detestable pounding
and piping whereunto dance slowly, awkwardly, and absurdly the gigantic
tenebrous ultimate gods -- the blind, voiceless, mindless gargoyles whose soul
is Nyarlathotep. (Lovecraft) John Cowan|jcowan@reutershealth.com|ccil.org/~cowan
