I concur with Stefan's analysis.
One further point which might help -- elementFormDefault applies
_only_ to _locally_ declared elements. Firma and Person are both
declared at the top-level (note this does not mean they are the
document element in some instance, just that their declaration is not
subordinate/local in their schema), so they _must always_ be
qualified, given that Firma (directly) and Person (via the chameleon
include rules) have a target namespace. So Name is the only element
to which elementFormDefault applies, and this works as Stefan
summarises above.
