Appendix A says that unprefixed attributes are assigned to one of the per-element-type partitions of the namespace. It also says that unprefixed attributes are assigned to "associated namespaces". Clause 5.3 is not involved and I shouldn't have dragged it in. But none of this matters much because Appendix A is not normative. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan cowan@c...
