Right, that is saying exactly that even though an unprefixed attribute 
is not *in* the namespace of its element, one can easily identify
a conventional package of information that provides an unambiguous
Id of what kind of attribute this is; the package includes the 
information about the type and namespace of the attached element, but 
I repeat: in the sense the spec uses  the word namespace, an unprefixed
attribute is NOT IN ANY NAMESPACE.  That's why the following is legal:

 <!-- http://www.w3.org is bound to n1 and is the default -->
 <x xmlns:n1="http://www.w3.org" 
    xmlns="http://www.w3.org" >
   <good a="1"     b="2" />
   <good a="1"     n1:a="2" />
 </x>
