Namespace nodes, like attributes, are not "children" of elements. Namespace
nodes are not inherited by parent elements but are inherited by children, yes.
You should use an XPath visualization tool to understand the model better. I
have one, Dimitre has one, G. Ken Holman has one, XML SPY comes with one... as
do a lot of other XML editors.

Mine is just a stylesheet that generates plain text:

I also have one that generates HTML+CSS:
  http://skew.org/xml/stylesheets/treeview/ascii/

Ken's produces plain text in outline format:

For more featureful applications, do a Google search for XPath visualizer or
XPath visualization.
