A valid XML 1.0 document has to declare all attributes used, even magic attributes like xml:space, xml:lang, and xmlns and xmlns:*.

I think there should be. All names beginning with the letters [xX][mM][lL] are reserved, and no other names are: only specs from the W3C's XML Activity should define names beginning with these letters, and even then, we're trying to avoid them.
