That's not fully accurate either since it's leading to think that global
(qualified) attributes do not belong to their parent element which isn't
true...

I thing that it's making my point that attributes (and in a lesser way
elements) are defined not only by their own namespace URI (when they
have one) but also by the namespace URIs of their ancestors :-) ...
