Thanks, Leigh, for the references to the question of attributes and
namespaces.

  Basically, then, the main question was whether the attribute names in
  the following two examples are identical:

    <html:a href="foo">

  and

    <html:a html:href="foo">

  For most applications (such as RDF, and, possibly, XSL), the answer is
  a firm 'no', but the WG decided to make it *possible* to distinguish
  the two in case anyone ever thinks of a good reason to do so.

OK, that's clear.  But may I ask a followup question:   Has any such case
arisen?
Otherwise, there is an obvious low-hanging fruit  for simpletons to pick,
right?
