It is in no namespace, right. However, it wouldn't need a prefix to be 
in a namespace, a default namespace declaration on an ancestor like

<ns1:a 
xmlns:ns1="http://something.org/ns/1"xmlns:ns2="http://something.org/ns/2"; 
xmlns="http://example.org/";>
  <ns2:b>
    <c>something</c>
  </ns2:b>
</ns1:a>

would suffice to put it into that namespace http://example.org/
