Jim, What you've said sounds wrong to me; <action/> and <http/> are in the "default namespace" (a declared namespace that has no prefix), whatever that has been defined to be.
This could be the same as n1 if the URI for n1 is also associated with the default namespace, but that seems unlikely. Phil :n.
