If I'm not mistaken, m2's pom does have namespaces. The root element is
in the 'http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0' namespace. I'm not certain
how that impacts your real question, however.

If your sole concern is the number of lines one must type, it is
certainly an option to have meta-pom.xml be in the format you find most
comfortable, then xslt it into the "more verbose" m2 pom.xml.

This argument of attributes versus elements has existed since the dawn
of [xml] time. I am not trying to argue one way or the other, but since
m1 pom used the "more verbose" syntax, it eases the transition.
