Well, almost.  It also puts certain restrictions (some in the XML Rec,
some not) on what XML processors report to applications.  For example,
attribute values cannot be dropped on the floor, nor can PIs.

On the contrary.  The Namespace Rec simply adds the ability to have
URI-syntax strings in element type names and attribute names without
breaking SGML backward compatibility.  It is pure syntax.

What you decide to *use* the capability for, if anything, is another matter.
