Yes... in fact, if you were only thinking about the namespace spec, you ought
to feel free to rewrite namespace attributes any old time you want. For
example in canonical XML. Ones that are hidden away in attribute values
won't get rewritten and hence will break. One of the reasons I was against
this. However, schemas, if there's a QName type, will help. -T.
