That though doesn't bind prefixes, it just does away with the need for prefixes altogether, so instead of (:# xmlns:p=http://other/uri #:) /p:foo/p:bar[2] you'd write /{http://other/uri}foo/{http://other/uri}bar[2] which is workable, but a bit long winded, especially in attribute value templates, where { already has another meaning, and so would need to be quoted.
