Right. That's what list=no does with prefix="" namespace (this was actually a recent addition, previously it simply said it's an invalid configuration).

The point of namespace list was for clients to be able to figure out what the namespaces there are. With list=yes and hidden=yes for your only namespace you wouldn't be listing any namespaces, so clients would think you don't have any personal namespaces at all..
