If the namespace spec had been done 2 years earlier than it was, then we could have <m:row> instead of <m:mrow> <om:A> instead of <om:OMA> <cd:Name> instead of <cd:CDName> But the fact is that the namespace spec came out late (due in part to a very acrimonious development cycle:-) and the basic naming scheme for openmath, openmath cds, mathml, were all fixed pre-namespace and namespaces just layered on top. In a different universe it could have been different but history is what it is...
