What I'm saying is that I see a namespace qualified attribute as a namespace
defined/scoped attribute (that is associated with a specific element). I do
not think the two elements <x:a m='1'/> and <x:a x:m='1'/> have the same
attributes. You seem to be saying that they do have the same attributes. Or
do you mean that in <x:a m='1'/> is in what ever namespace 'a' is in but is
not a namespace qualified attribute? What does that mean?
