Non-defined elements in XInclude namespace

The 2nd candidate rec specifies what should be done with unrecognized, 
unqualified attributes on an include element. (Ignore them.) However, it 
does not appear to say anything about what a processor shoudl do if it 
encounters an undefined element in the XInclude namespace; that is, one 
whose local name is not include or fallback.

I'm not sure whether this should generate a fatal error or simply be 
ginored and treated like any other element from a different namespace or 
perhaps even dropped out of the document completely. I suggest the spec 
address this point explicitly.
