It is unfortunate that the bullet list in 3.3 doesn't contain a link to
the definition of "superflous" that appears in section 4.6. Send a note
asking for an errata.

The only time you *remove* a namespace declaration is when an identical
declaration is already in-scope.

This is correct.

> <x xmlns:bar="c:d"/>
You are correct in that these are different documents, and the rationale
is exactly that: qnames in content.
