Other namespace based python libs like for instance RDFlib solve this problem generically by adding the namespace to the python property.
Given how central namespaces are to XML and how often conflicts can occur with abbreviations and prefixes, I don't think what you suggest should be the standard behaviour. It might be fine for a small scope like RDF but I can think of several places in OOXML where it could cause problems. Still, your suggestion for a namespace-free lookup looks like it could be very useful.
