It does and it doesn't.  The MicroXML data model knows nothing of
namespaces.  However, attributes are permitted to have prefixes in my
draft (to which James has not raised a serious objection).  So it's up to
the application if it wants to interpret element names and/or attribute
names as referring to QNames.  The MicroLark API for Element class has
some convenience methods for returning the namespace URI associated with
either an element or an attribute.

If a document is not namespace-valid per the XML Namespace rec, it does not
have an XDM, but is still well-formed XML.
