In XHTML yes (kind-of, the spec does say that additional namespace elements
or attributes mean that *strict* conformance is then broken).

In HTML, where namespaces don't exist (and TAL is an anomaly there), no. It
may be that the TAL engine accepts this syntax for HTML documents, but you
will just have to try and find out. ;)
