As I said originally "There are all sorts of ways to cope with
namespaces".  However, the AsGML() function works in isolation, only
producing the geometry property of a feature.  It has no context within
which to work.  Using the "gml:" namespace prefix removes the need for
an extra parameter, and probably improves interoperability.

Your organisation is entitled to an opinion, but that doesn't make it
the truth.
