Yes, in theory they are equivalent.  The problem is I'm using a kind
of scripting tool that allows me to define variables using XPath
expressions, but for some reason this tool expects an explicit
namespace prefix... So I can only see two solutions: 1) make the
namespaces explicit using an intermediary XSLT transformation, or 2)
make Axis generate explicit namespaces.  I'd rather go for 2...
