Elements are constructed outside of any context. 

If you create a <child> element, with no namespace, then it will continue
to have no namespace, no matter where it's inserted into a tree.

This is a feature, not a bug.

Bottom line: an Element always keeps the namespace it was constructed
with, even if that namespace was the null/empty namespace.
