No, there are reasons you'd want both. In many cases, the DTD is designed
with the prefixes already on the elements, and the document just makes sure
to use those prefixes. But they still want to have those translated to URLs
and that namespace aware data to be spit out.

Subject: Re: namespaces and Valid XML
Same way I can say that not everything clear with Xerces.
When validating parser meets attribute, which is not declared in DTD,
it has to report error. And Xerces does report. But if attribute starts
from 'xmlns:' Xerces does not report error. So, if we agree that namespaces
and DTDs are not really like each other, may be make sense to prohibit
use SAXparser.setDoValidation(true) and SAXparser.setDoNamespaces(true);
for the same parsing?.
