The best that I've been able to determine is that the sentences "An element
whose
expanded QName has a non-null namespace URI MUST be output as XML. This is
known as an XML Island," were meant to be a statement of intent, and that the
rules that follow describe the actual rules in detail.  The behaviour of
implementations that I've tested seem to reflect that.

I propose changing those sentences to read "An element whose expanded QName has
a non-null namespace URI might be serialized differently from an element that
is in no namespace.  An element that has a non-null namespace is known as an
XML Island."
