Are you reading a different spec than the one I am reading? Anyhow: when I first started using SGML, it really bothered me that attribute constraint declarations were not buried in element type declarations. But now I think that it is better to strictly separate them. It should be possible to attach attributes to any list of elements (including ALL). I think that SGML and XML had it right, and we should go back to that way of doing it. If we want to allow nesting of attribute constraint declarations in element constraint declarations, it should be a short-hand for the expanded version.
