Should the cursor/completeListSize attributes of resumptionToken elements be in the OAI-OMH namespace?

The RofR returns the following heavily-redacted document from a
ListRecords query:
<OAI-PMH xmlns="http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/" ...>
...
<resumptionToken cursor="0" completeListSize="3"></resumptionToken>
</ListRecords></OAI-PMH>
whereas the HEASARC registry (as well as others) returns
<oai:OAI-PMH xmlns:oai ="http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/"
...
<oai:resumptionToken cursor="0"
completeListSize="472">ivo_managed!!!ivo_vor!100</oai:resumptionToken>
</oai:ListRecords></oai:OAI-PMH>
So, in the RofR case. the cursor and completeListSize attributes of the
OAI resumptionToken element use the
"http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/" namespace, whereas they do not
have an explicit namespace in the HEASARC case. In other words, I was
expecting the HEASARC output to look like
<oai:resumptionToken oai:cursor="0" oai:completeListSize="472">...
Which is right? Does it really matter (in my toy application I can just
look for the cursor attribute in either namespace, so it's not a deal
breaker for me)?
Thanks,
Doug
