OK, thanks.  I accept the need for unambiguous identification of a namespace.

Conversely, I am interested to use the namespace prefix where 
not necessary in a *.svg document.  In principle, this should 
work but gives an error message.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN"
	"http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd" [ ] >

<svg 
	xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" 
	xml:lang="en"
    width="134"
    height="242"
	overflow="visible" 
	style="font-family:Times; font-size:20">
	
	<svg:text x='40' y='-50' >1</svg:text> 
</svg>

If the two instances of "svg:" are removed, the above text validates.
Is there any simple way to make the above validate without removing 
the "svg:" prefixes?

Thanks for any ideas,                 ... Peter E.
