Err, actually I think there is quite a lot less confusion in explaining 
that they need to turn that into something like this:

<text xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0" 
xmlns:mine="http://mynamespace.org">
   <text>
     <body>
       <head>Blue</head>
       <p>My encoded text with the
       <mine:thingie>thing</mine:thingie> I am
       interested in encoding</p>
     </body>
   </text>
