xforms-output and namespace

[dr.cw.ray]

I have an xhtml/xforms document with the following namespace that
defines the whole document:
<h:html  xmlns:h="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" ...

I have an xf:output element with mediatype application/xhtml+xml.  I
noticed that the xforms-output element renders html tags like normal
even if they aren't defined by the namespace. In my form,  for example
the <h:em>thingy</h:em> and <em>thingy</em> will render identically.

I'm wondering that if any element has no prefix when there's no
declared namespace as such,  is the default automatically html?
That's fine if it is, probably a good thing. But for my design (as I'm
designing tags to be inserted into my output element) I need to know
if that is the expected behaviour and will be supported in the future,
or is it a bug or a standard that will be deprecated.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<h:html
   xmlns:h="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
   xmlns:xf="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms"
   xmlns:ev="http://www.w3.org/2001/xml-events">
   <h:head>
      <h:title>Insert BB code</h:title>

         <h:style type="text/css">
         @namespace h url('http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml');
         h|fieldset {width:30em;height:25ex;
         </h:style>
         <h:style type="text/css">
         @namespace xf url('http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms');
         xf|textarea .xf-value { width:25em; height:20ex; }
         </h:style>

      <xf:model>
         <xf:instance>
               <data xmlns="">
                  <text><h:strong>  Four score and seven years
ago,</h:strong> our fathers brought forth on this continent, a
new nation,<strong> conceived in Liberty </strong>, and
dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal </text>
                  <atEnd>1</atEnd>
               </data>
         </xf:instance>
      </xf:model>
</h:head>


<h:body>
      <xf:textarea id="textArea" incremental="true" ref="//text">
         <xf:label/>
      </xf:textarea>
<h:br/>

<h:p/>
Here is the output:
<h:fieldset class="zz" >

<xf:output class="zz" ref="//text" mediatype="application/xhtml+xml"/>

</h:fieldset>
</h:body>
</h:html>

A default namespace declaration applies to all unprefixed element
names within its scope.
