Wide Tires on 26x1" rims?

So I see lots of information going the opposite way- 26x1 tires on 26x1.5 rims.

But I've got a nice set of Campagnolo 26x1" wheels that I'd like to put on my "converted" MTB commuter, preferable with some Schwalbe Marathon 26x1.5 tires.

I'm guessing that these should work out OK, but I just wanted to double check.

Piece of cake. I run 1.95" tires on 21mm outside width rims. They tend to roll over @ low pressures but 35psi and up they're fine and dandy.
