Well, probably not. XML Eclusive canonicalization (c14n) by itself would
drop the declaration because it's not used in the <div> element. But the
entity specifying the c14n, to be correct, would say to include the "dc"
prefix -- in this case because the value of the property attribute is,
apparently, a qname.
