It can’t have ancestors in the XProc namespace, but it could have
ancestors in another namespace if it was embedded somewhere.

Imagine, http://example.com/framework.xml:

  <some-envelope>
    <instructions>
      <p:library xml:id="test" version="1.0">…</p:library>
    </instructions>
  </some-envelope>

You could, in theory, I doubt its ever been tested in practice,
import that library thusly:

  <p:import href="http://example.com/framework.xml#test"/>

That’s what that sentence is for :-)
