Eww, that's awful.  Explicitly not having a namespace is as much a
differentiator as being in a specific namespace.  In fact, such elements
do have a Namespace, the NO_NAMESPACE constant.

You do not want to auto-put an element in a namespace because of its
parent, or have an elt's namespace change later because it is moved.
