I believe that using an undeclared prefix doesn't make the XML not well-formed
it makes the XML "invalid" (i.e. a validating parser will barf) [1]. I think
"well formed" simply means all the right syntax (element and attribute
declarations are correct, and are all correctly closed/nested).

Right. NS prefixes are irrelevant really.
The user picks whatever she likes.
And you can't automagically assign them.
Using an undeclared NS prefix makes the XML
document not well-formed, AFAIK. --DD
