Summary: Unbound prefixes not rejected

Initial Comment:
When namespace processing is turned on then
unbound prefixes are illegal according to
the Namespaces for XML 1.0 specification, section 4,
paragraph "Namespace Constraint: Prefix Declared".

However, Expat does not reject the following two 
documents:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- Unbound element prefix -->
<a:foo/>

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- Unbound attribute prefix -->
<foo a:attr="1"/>
