Yes, you can trust that provided that you set the necessary namespace 
features on the parser. (They are generally not set correctly by 
default.) YOu also need to put code in setFeature() to make sure that 
programmers don't accidentally or intentionally change the namespace 
features to other than what we want them to be.
