If you mean 'is there a magic switch that would make that
happen upon parsing', then no, there isn't any that I'm
aware of (I suppose that's because getting rid of
namespaces is not a particularly good idea). However, this
is trivial to do using DOM tree traversal or XSLT
stylesheet.

But as I said, I'm not sure this is a good idea at all. Why
would you want to get rid of namespaces? If you don't want
namespaces, why does your document contain them in first
place?
