So adopt the principle of least surprise: an unqualified
attribute gets the namespace of the element.
If that doesn't work, then namespaces really are a
disaster. It can't take a mathematician to do this
work and understand it. That perverts what markup
is for and has been about prior to the namespaces rec.
Simon and Uche are right.

I could have been reasonably happy either way, but what does not work for
me is this mix-and-match situation where some systems do it one way and
others do it another way.
