Sorry, this was worded a little too strongly. It's true that you must have
a namespace declaration in the stylesheet if you are to explicitly match or
select elements from a particular namespace. But you can always use a
wildcard such as * to select elements in any namespace, without needing a
namespace declaration for each.
