You can fix the XML to be consistent in the use of namespaces, whatever
you prefer. One of the two didn't have a default namespace declared. The
MetadataProvider element itself is in the
"urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:metadata" namespace, and what you posted can't
actually be true. If you removed the prefix, your PROD declarations would
cause it to break, because it would treat the element as part of the
relying party namespace.

You should rationalize things and make sure you know what namespaces are
actually declared and make them consistent.

Nope. These are just standard XML namespace alternatives. If you need
assistance with XML namespace rules, try the w3schools.com tutorials,
they're short and pretty good.
