elementFormDefault="unqualified" only applies to non-global elements--that is, elements defined within the context of a type. Global elements still require a namespace prefix (in the XPath).
Since *most* of STC's elements are in fact global (so that substitutionGroups could be used), elementFormDefault="unqualified" does not help you. (It only would make things more confusing.)
cheers,
