Does the scope of an XML namespace declaration include the element it is declared on?

Yes. For example, in the following, the names B and C are in the http://www.bar.org/ namespace, not the http://www.foo.org/ namespace. This is because the declaration that associates the foo prefix with the http://www.bar.org/ namespace occurs on the B element, overriding the declaration on the A element that associates it with the http://www.foo.org/ namespace.
