elementFormDefault="unqualified" only applies to non-global elements--that 
is, elements defined within the context of a type.  Global elements still 
require a namespace prefix (in the XPath).

Since *most* of STC's elements are in fact global (so that 
substitutionGroups could be used), elementFormDefault="unqualified" does 
not help you.  (It only would make things more confusing.)

cheers,
