So who's aware of the obscure namespace issue should be aware of the

I disagree. It's possible to have a DTD ignored
With an explicit <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>.
Or by telling it to ignore the DTD by doing setLoadExternalDTD(false).
or substituted by a different DTD by invoking the parser in a
different way. That shouldn't cause names to be in a different
namespace, but it does.
But then, what about parser.setDoNamespaces(false) ?
We often see problems where people show us an XML instance and an
XPath expression that fails to find elements in the instance, and it
turns out that there's a sneaky namespace declaration in the DTD
I'd rather call it unobtrusive (but I'm not 100 % sure this is still
bona fide).
After some testing, I think I'd rather concede that setting the
namespace via the DTD is not necessarily to be universally recommended
as parsers vary considerably as to their default settings, and I admit
I've had problems because I didn't configure the parser appropriately.
