Yes, you can. No-one uses them nowadays, but in principle you can have a
document that conforms to the base XML recommendation but doesn't conform to
the Namespaces Rec. XSLT has always insisted that the source document
conforms to both.

No, to require both you have to specify "namespace-well-formed".
Thanks - out of interest (and off the top of your head) what XML
parsers/applications will accept well-formed XML that is not
namespace-well-formed ?
I think I started with XML just after the namespaces rec came became a
rec, so the idea of using one without the other just seems odd...
