Attributes from other namespaces are allowed in XHTML elements.

See, for example, the definition for a.attlist:

http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/WD-xhtml-m12n-schema-20010322/schema_module_defs.html#a_smodule_Text

<xsd:attributeGroup name="a.attlist">
     ...
     <xsd:anyAttribute namespace="##other"/>
</xsd:attributeGroup>
<xsd:complexType name="a.type" mixed="true">
     <xsd:group ref="InlNoAnchor.mix"/>
     <xsd:attributeGroup ref="a.attlist"/>
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:element name="a" type="a.type"/>
