Re: p:namespace-rename & attributes

/ Toman_Vojtech@emc.com was heard to say:
| I have a question about p:namespace-rename. More specifically, what
| should be the behavior/output of the following code:
|
| ...
| <p:namespace-rename from="http://www.foo.com" to="http://www.bar.com"
| elements-only="true">
|   <p:input port="source">
|     <p:inline>
|       <x:abc x:def="whatever" xmlns:x="http://www.foo.com"/>
|     </p:inline>
|   </p:input>
| </p:namespace-rename>
| ...
|
| Because elements-only is set to true, the attributes should remain in
| their original namespace. But since both the element and the attribute
| share the same prefix, what should happen? 

I had the same question whilst implementing namespace-rename somewhere
over the Atlantic today :-)

| Should the step fail with an
| error, or should it produce something like:
|
| <x:abc y:def="whatever" xmlns:x="http://www.bar.com"
| xmlns:y="http://www.foo.com"/>

That's what I guessed.

| The specification is not very clear on this.

No, it isn't. Also, why isn't the from option required?
