I think XPath 1.0 does forbid such names. It states, for example [1],
that the "expanded name" of an element node is computed from a QName,
and "QName" is defined by reference to the Namespaces 1.0 REC. By
implication, an expanded name that could not be computed from any QName
cannot occur. Therefore, the XPath 1.0 data model does NOT permit names
that are legal in XML 1.1 but illegal in XML 1.0, and it certainly
doesn't permit names consisting of seven spaces.
