Wrong. The Namespaces Rec states:
Namespace constraint: Reserved Prefixes and Namespace Names
The prefix xml is by definition bound to the namespace name
http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace. It MAY, but need not, be declared,
and MUST NOT be bound to any other namespace name. Other prefixes MUST
NOT be bound to this namespace name, and it MUST NOT be declared as the
default namespace.
