No. You still need to declare it in the instance (and the svg namespace,
as well) to be namespace well formed.

However, the fixed declaration does mean that if you use a different
URI, the DTD validator will pick up that error (which is good). Unfortunately, 
it also
means that its hard to use a different prefix without the DTD validator
falsely claiming its invalid (which is bad). Namespace processing with
XML DTDs is a hack, unfortunately.

Same answer as for SVG 1.0, you need to declare the SVG namespace (and
the XLink namespace, if used).
