I would stick with a pattern that does use a namespace prefix (i.e., 
"rtl::OUString" rather than "OUString").  Even if it is slightly longer, 
it helps avoid ambiguities should one of the #included headers in the 
future drag in another entity with the same plain name (probably 
unlikely for "OUString," but it does happen, cf. rtl::Reference vs. 
com::sun::star::uno::Reference; another measure against this is to 
explicitly "using rtl::OUString;" instead of the more general "using 
namespace rtl;").  The initial "::" in "::rtl::OUString" is probably not 
really worth it, more noise than of practical value.

But there's a lot of personal taste involved...
