XForms Instance with Namespace ...

Could somebody please explain in plain English, why I have to use
xmlns="" in an model's instance, or more precisely, why can't I do
something like the following:

<xforms:model>
    <xforms:instance xmlns:exam="http://example.com/namespace">
       <exam:root>
          <exam:sometext>
       </exam:root>
    </xforms>
</xforms:model>
...
<xforms:input name="sometext" ref="exam:sometext"/>

Thank you very much,

    Dirk

Dirk,
You don't *have* to use xmlns="" in all cases.

Use xmlns="" only if:

o you already define a different default namespace on an ancestor node
   of xforms:instance

o AND if you want your instance data to be in no namespace
