The spec says explicitly, and then belabors the point with examples; defaults don't apply to attributes. The only attribute that has a namespace is one that has a prefix. Now clearly, an application processing an unprefixed attribute will know the namespace (if any) of the element to which it's attached, and may well use that information. For example, in <html:a href="..."> an HTML processor may (& probably should) choose to process that href attribute in an HTML-ish way; BUT, the href attribute is not, in the formal terminology of the spec, in the html or any other namespace. -T. xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
