One of the points, yes.

As I said, you can also use any other automatic tool or do it by hand. But obviously, this is one of the drawbacks of using prefixes. As I said, each of the different possibilities has its own pro/con balance; but each would be OK IMHO. When someone sees copy'n'paste as most important, then it's obviously best to not use prefixes.

Just above, I wrote
"xmlns:h="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
can be set on the root element and/or be set (via "fixed") from the DTD." (there's an "or")
Set it explicitly, in the document, eg on the root element.
