Absolutely. Tested more then once with two different documents.

OK, I think I'll add the namespace to the dtd first, but also look at
relaxNG. 

BTW: as far as I can see (it's my first day of relaxNG) there are two
ways to describe relaxNG: xml-syntax and short syntax. Are they both
supported by libxml or is one prefered over the other?

OK, I've found this and I'll give it a try when I don't succeed with
manual translation of the dtd (I feel the urge to learn this stuff)

Thanks for your answer and also to Daniel!
