Well, I entered issue that was clear bug. My other comments are things 
that are more design issues and different people can have different 
opinions about them. I think that it is better to discuss them first and 
if there agreement reached, you can incorporate them into ITS specification.

Not completely true. If you require extensions to be in its own 
namespace (which is typical approach) there is no possibility of name 
clash. You can do extension as follow:

<its:documentRule
	translate="no"
	translateSelector="//db:para/@*"
	xmlns:xyz="http://www.example.com/someExtension"
         xyz:disableTranslationMemory="true"/>
