no, the child element is not in the MyNamespace namespace, it would
need to be prefixed with X (or someother prefix mapped to
MyNamespace), e.g.
<X:parent xmlns:X="MyNamespace">
<X:child>data</X:child>
</X:parent>
But given a default namespace at a larger scope, child could be part
of the MyNamespace, but not through the NS declaration on parent. e.g.
<family xmlns="MyNamespace">
<X:parent xmlns:X="MyNamespace">
<child>data</child>
</X:parent>
</family>
would put child in the MyNamespace by virtue of the default namespace
declared on the family element.
