Well, not quite. As long as you specify the prefix in both the DTD and the
document, you can still validate, since the prefix is basically treated as
part of the element name or attribute name.

I think we're hoping for the schema group to fix this for us. The DCD
proposal, for instance, provides namespace support. For now, though, I
think we're stuck with specifying the prefix in both the DTD and the document.
