I just checked "Namespaces in XML 1.1" Recommendation.
I think you are right in your understanding above (and this answers my
question also). The new namespaces spec (ver 1.1) makes this point
clear (http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-names11/#defaulting). Here the spec
clearly says .. "A default namespace declaration applies to all
unprefixed element names within its scope. Default namespace
declarations do not apply directly to attribute names; the
interpretation of unprefixed attributes is determined by the element
on which they appear. "
