Sure. As long as you handle the prefixes in both the document and the dtd
before validation, it works. In other words, the five step algorithm works,
but it implies a little more than this short summary statement:

Well, it's the least kludgy hack we have available to us until schemas can
handle namespace mapping. It's the way I would handle it in my applications.
