5.2 Namespace Defaulting

A default namespace is considered to apply to the element where it is
declared (if that element has no namespace prefix), and to all elements
with no prefix within the content of that element. If the URI reference in
a default namespace declaration is empty, then unprefixed elements in the
scope of the declaration are not considered to be in any namespace. Note
that default namespaces do not apply directly to attributes.
     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The last 8 words of section 5.2 of XML-Names would argue differently.
