How about allowing both explicit namespaces, and groups of namespaces 
common to a project.

   <body talns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">

     <p>Here, I can talk about the Dublin Core title:
        <em tal:content="context/dc:title">.</p>

     <div tal:use-namespaces="zope">

       <p>Here, I can use a whole bunch of tal namespaces
       that are declared as being a standard part of zope.</p>

       <p>This is equivalent to declaring all of:</p>
       <pre>
       talns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
       talns:format="http://namespaces.zope.org/stringformat"
       talns:sink="http://namespaces.zope.org/kitchensink"
       </pre>
     </div>

     <div tal:use-namespaces="plone">
       <p>Here, I can use a whloe bunch of tal namespaces that are
       declared as being a standard part of plone.
       </p>
     </div>
   </body>
