The combination of [1] (which is a bit vague) and [2] (which is a bit
off-topic) suggests that you should end up with "confounding". I think
the general principle there is that you should need to use namespaces in
order to end up with any of the others (either through the namespace
awareness described in css3-namespace or through attr(xlink\:type) in
non-namespace-aware CSS).
