Just as if you didn't use redefine, your local element declaration will only
be in the target namespace if you specify elementFormDefault="qualified" on
your xs:schema element. (Or, of course, form="qualified" on the local
element declaration itself, but no-one ever does that.)

Yes. I've never heard an adequate explanation of why this extraordinary
decision was made, but in practice everyone changes the default by using
elementFormDefault="qualified".
