According to the book, the following examples are semantically equivalent:
<ns:elemA xmlns:ns="urn:myNS"> <elemB/> <!-- this elem would implicitly be in the 'ns' namespace --> </ns:elemA>
<ns:elemA xmlns:ns="urn:myNS"> <ns:elemB/> </ns:elemA>
The book is wrong. These are not equivalent. In the first example elemB is in no namespace. It is most definitely *not* in the urn:myNS namespace.
