I think you're being very ungracious here, given that I've taken my knock for 
introducing that confusion and have said that I shall use the term as in the 
1.0 spec in future.

OK, here you go: neither the fact that an attribute is prefixed, nor the fact 
that an attribute may be in a different namespace than its element is 
important to the fundamental principles we are discussing here.  Therefore, 
what name is ascribed to such property is not relevant, either.

If you disagree, can you say why these are relevant?
