this is wrong, at least given the way I parse that sentence.

unprefixed attributes aren't in any namespace at all.  that surprised
me a fair bit when I was trying to grok XML namespaces.

in practice, it doesn't seem to matter much.  once you've used a
namespace to disambiguate a given element, there's not usually room
for confusion at the attribute level.  so people seem to generally
manage with unprefixed (and therefor un-namespaced) attributes.  but
if for some reason you do want to put an attribute into a namespace,
you must prefix the attribute name.
