Sections 1 Introduction and 5.2 Attribute-level namespaces mention
xml: attributes including xml:space and xml:base in a way which
suggests they occur in polyglot markup. But 7.1 Disallowed Attributes
says, confusingly:
The following attributes are not allowed in polyglot markup. These
attributes have effects in documents parsed as XML but do not have
effects in documents parsed as text/html. The HTML5 spec therefore
defines them as invalid in text/html documents. [HTML5]
xml:space
xml:base
Note that the xml:space and xml:base attributes are allowed on SVG
and MathML elements.
For internal consistency, and consistency with HTML5, shouldn't this
be revised to read
The following attributes are not allowed in polyglot markup except
on foreign elements. These attributes have effects in documents
parsed as XML but do not have effects in documents parsed as
text/html outside of foreign elements. The HTML5 spec therefore
defines them as invalid in text/html documents except on foreign
elements. [HTML5]
xml:space
xml:base
