It's not implied by the namespaces specifications, it's implied by the XPath serialization spec, which places the requirement on serialization that it should "round trip": that is, it should generate the textual XML which, when reparsed, will give you back the data model you started with. The data model allows a namespace to be in scope for a parent element without being in scope for its child element; this cannot round-trip through a 1.0 serialization, but it can round-trip through a 1.1 serialization.
