The elementFormDefault atttribute on the schema only applies to local elements, not global elements. See http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-0/ Section 3.1 Target Namespaces & Unqualified Locals.

The local declarations (defined inside other elements or complexTypes) default back to not qualified. So unless the local elements specifically have the form="qualified" attribute declared on them, they are not namespace qualified. I've noticed that Axis handles this by 'unsetting' the namespace on local elements, like this: <A xmlns="http://some.namespace.uri";> <B xmlns=""> ... </B> </A> I've also noticed that some tools don't like these kinds of XMLs. In my case I solved it by explicitly setting the form="qualfied" on my local declarations too. Hope this helps...
