The html5 parser special cases unprefixed svg and mathml elements (only) so unless I misunderstand what you meant above then these two items are contradictory. There are no "standard prefixes" for svg and mathml, if you want to make an xhtml document work also in the html serialisation then redefining the default namespace is the only option supported by the curent draft.
