Nowhere does XDM state the following constraint, which is necessary to ensure
that an XDM document can be serialized as namespace-well-formed XML.

Add the following either to the numbered list in 6.3.1 (Attribute
Nodes/Overview), or to the bulleted list in 3.3.3 (QNames and NOTATIONs), or
both, at editor's discretion: 

* In the node-name of an attribute node, if a namespace URI is present then a
prefix must also be present.

See also bug #4443. This bug is raised in response to action A-327-04.
