And some applications, such as an XSL Stylesheet processor, might *need* to
do so. (I haven't yet worked out how namespace prefixes inside XSL patterns
actually work, but I'm sure the stylesheet processor needs to be aware of
them); and
the same is true of any other application that refers to element names
within its data.
