No -- or at least, I imagine not.  There are two more interesting
solutions:

1. Use something similar to DSSSL modes, one for each namespace:

<namespace ns="www.company.com/para">
 <rule>
  <target-element type="para"/>
  <paragraph
    space-before='10pt'>
    <children/>
  </paragraph>
 </rule>
 <rule>
  [...]
 </rule>
 [...]
</namespace>

2. Associate a separate stylesheet with each namespace, through some
   mechanism yet to be determined.


All the best,


David
