Yup, the text is an encoding of the infoset, and there are
multiple ways to encode it.

You sure?  In section 5.2 of:

    http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-xml-names-19990114/

it says:

    The default namespace can be set to the empty string. This has
    the same effect, within the scope of the declaration, of there
    being no default namespace.

There's an example also.

Thanks,
 Phil
