Garret,

here is an expanded form of your document with the explicit DOM Level 2
namespaceURI attributes using a modified pseudo syntax from [1]:

<!-- 1 --> <{"urn:com:books-r-us"}section
                {"http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/"}xmlns='urn:com:books-r-us'>
<!-- 2 -->  <{"urn:com:books-r-us"}title>Book-Signing Event</title>
<!-- 3 -->  <{"urn:com:books-r-us"}signing>
<!-- 4 -->   <{"urn:com:books-r-us"}author
                  {NULL}title="Mr" {NULL}name="Vikram Seth" />
<!-- 5 -->   <{"urn:com:books-r-us"}book
                  {NULL}title="A Suitable Boy" {NULL}price="$22.95" />
            </{"urn:com:books-r-us"}signing>
           </{"urn:com:books-r-us"}section>
