I agree it's open to misuse, but there are cases where it is genuinely useful. I've heard of a number of cases (though I can't cite them) where people have used different namespaces to represent versions or variants of an XML vocabulary, but where the variants are sufficiently close to make it possible to write stylesheets that can handle all of them.
<xsl:template match="*[local-name(.)="whatever"]"> ... </xsl:template>
