SOAP [2] depends on XML namespaces to identify SOAP modules (using terminology from [1]). The question is then to say whether XML NS are mandatory or optional and at what level. SOAP requires that all immediate child elements of the SOAP Header element MUST be namespace-qualified and that all immediate child elements of the SOAP Body element MAY be namespace-qualified. Given the division between headers and body I think this is a reasonable choice although one could argue that the latter could be a SHOULD. As SOAP doesn't depend on anything lower than the immediate child elements of Header and Body, it makes sense not to say anything about how Modules use XML NS.
