Given how central namespaces are to XML and how often conflicts can occur with abbreviations and prefixes, I don't think what you suggest should be the standard behaviour. It might be fine for a small scope like RDF but I can think of several places in OOXML where it could cause problems. Still, your suggestion for a namespace-free lookup looks like it could be very useful.
