Because that name list is just a simplified schema for one particular
language that is defined using elements in that namespace. (currently
the only one).

But the namespace isn't restricted to those names.

<x xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"/>

is the element x in the same namespace, but it osn't in your list.

Schema validation (even for a schema language that just lists a finite set
of names) isn't the same as namespace processing.
