XML multiple prefixes with same namespace

In XML if we have 2 different namespaces defined like this for example

xmlns:a="http://something.com"
xmlns:b="http://something.com"

and then 2 different elements, Element1 and Element2, where Element1 uses the prefix a and Element2 uses the prefix b.

Do these 2 elements still consider to be belonging to the same namespace or different namespace? Also, isn't this defeating the whole purpose of having namespaces anyway?
