Jeff,
That wording looks OK to me.
One additional point to consider, but I think it's marginal: the case when
the default namespace is a SAML namespace. (In practice, I think anyone
who knows enough about XML to use this stuff will understand that case is
implied, but maybe it's better to be explicit.)
