More precisely, this is an error if it accepts it and adds the namespace
declaration to the output tree (the XSLT 1.0 rec leaves the option to
implementations to silently ignore the bogus xsl:attribute in that
case).
Now, I am really curious to know why anyone would want to write:
<html lang="de" xml:lang="de">
<xsl:attribute name="xmlns">http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml</xsl:attribute>
instead of the less verbose (and authorized)
<html lang="de" xml:lang="de" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
