maybe I should leave this to Henri but I think that is equivalent to

   <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
     <para xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook">
        This is some <link>text.
     </para>
   </div>

where xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" is an attribute not a 
namespace decln.

only by calling the xml parser explicitly on the string content of the 
element, as far as I know.
