For sure -- the way I put this is that wellformedness and validity
are the XML 1.0 concepts, and _nothing_ which comes after can change
them. The Namespace REC _added_ a notion of namespace compliance, and
XML Schema _adds_ a notion of schema-validity assessment, but nobody
is ever going to _force_ you to use those notions if they don't serve
your needs.
