Daniel is correct about that long-standing lack of inheritance.
I did concoct a scheme recently which explicitly includes the inherited
declarations:
http://simonstl.com/ietf/draft-stlaurent-xmlns-local-frag-00.html
Even before the latest drafts I had some misgivings about it, as it
punctures the seal separating the URI reference from its environment,
but I suspect we're going to have to re-examine those issues at some
point in any case.
Of course, using the new approach, it's now quite amusing. Instead of:
#xmlns-local()[restOfXPointer]
we now have:
#xmlns(ns=http://simonstl.com/ns/bogus)ns:xmlns-local()[restOfXPointer]
Not much of an abbreviation, really.

Simon St.Laurent - SSL is my TLA
http://simonstl.com may be my URI
http://monasticxml.org may be my ascetic URI
urn:oid:1.3.6.1.4.1.6320 is another possibility altogether
