If you do not define a default namespace (or if you undefine the default 
namespace by assigning "" to it), the default is "no namespace". (Empty 
string is not a legal namespace URI, it's just how XML expresses "no 
namespace"). Whether that shows up as empty string or null or something 
else depends on which API you're using to access the document's contents.

Per the XML Infoset, if an element is not bound to a namespace it has no 
localname. Again, it's up to the API you're using to decide how to tell 
you this.
