startPrefixMapping in namespace-less elements

Consider this document:

<root>
  <a>
    <b/>
  </a>
</root>

Note the lack of namespace prefixes and defualt namespaces.

Will/should/can a SAX parser call ContentHandler.startPrefixMapping() 
and endPrefixMapping() for this document? In particular shoudl it call 
startPrefixMapping("", "") for the root element of this document? I 
don't see anything in the spec squarely on point here. :-(
