           Summary: [attribute] isn't a property of an element information
                    item
           Product: XML Schema
           Version: 1.1 only
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Datatypes: XSD Part 2

There is no "[attribute]" property of an element information item; the property
is "[attributes]".  The value of [attributes] is a set of attribute information
items, unordered and each identified by [namespace name] and [local name].  We
use the phrase "the xxx:yyy [attribute]" to mean that attribute information
item  in [attributes] whose [namespace name] is linked to the prefix "xxx" and
whose [local name] is "yyy".

I don't think it is necessary to abuse the bracket notation by using
"[attribute]".  I suggest we simply say "the xxx:yyy attribute"; everyone will
understand.
