Yes ... XML does not allow the same named 
attribute to be used twice in a start element tag or an empty element tag.

Moreover, XML Namespaces does not allow two 
attributes with different prefixes and same names 
to have the same namespace-qualified name in a 
start element tag or an empty element tag.

I hope this helps.
