No. If an element type or attribute name is not specifically declared to be in an XML namespace — that is, it is unprefixed and (in the case of element type names) there is no default XML namespace — then that name is not in any XML namespace. If you want, you can think of it as having a null URI reference as its name, although no “null” XML namespace actually exists.
