If the latter is the case, that's an enormously creative
reinterpretation of RFC 3023 that I don't find plausible.

+xml indicates that the document is XML, per XML 1.0.  It makes no
requirements whatsoever of particular namespace usage, nor do I believe
it should.

If someone wants to make this argument, they should bring it up on
ietf-xml-mime@imc.org.
