Ok, noting that this can be turned around to say an no-namespace element is defined by its local name and attributes, and does not share a namespace with other elements. Which I think leaves the position that both the following would be legal: <media:thing name="here" /> <item name="here" /> ...and also that the code doesn't really care if the namespace has no value or is null, the namespace component of unqualified elements and attributes (in SAX in Java at least) have the same value (the empty string).
