Yes, and you've completely missed my point yet again.  I'm not arguing
that prefixed attributes should be in the namespace of the element
containing them.  I'm arguing that _unprefixed_ attributes should be
treated as if they had the same namespace as the element containing
them.

There's a technical term for the Namespaces in XML Recommendation, but
I'm afraid it's unprintable.  I stand by my claim.

I'd like to propose that it's past time to fix these issues instead of
leaving them to fester.
