That makes sense to me. We've been nicely consistent about having a 
raw name imply that the element/attribute is in no namespace. There's 
no reason to break that metaphor here. If someone really does want to 
search for paragraph elements in any namespace it's easy enough to 
write a custom filter that does that. +1.
