  yes but it can't create a decent XML tree. The document
is not conformant to Namespace in XML Rec. I don't know who or
why people though that it's an acceptable situation, but it's
not. To be able to run XPath on a document it MUST be compliant
to Namespace in XML, as a result I think that XML Sec and DSig
should fail on such document.
