In article <200401011610.i01GAvns018472@adat.davidashen.net> you write:

No.  A parser that rejects documents conforming to XML 1.0 but not
Namespaces is an XML + Namespaces parser, just as a C compiler is
not a ASCII verifier, and an HTML browser is not a general SGML
parser.

Many XML parsers have a switch allowing you to specify whether you want
a plain XML 1.0 parser or an XML+Namespaces parser, thus saving you $$$
compared with buying both separately.
