It basically applies the rule "if the namespace is recognized, the local
name must be recognized".

That's a good way of catching spelling mistakes, but I can see there are
disadvantages as well.

The spec gives the implementor discretion: the processor must ignore the
element if the namespace is unrecognized, it may ignore it (at its
discretion) if the namespace is recognized.
