Only non-namespace attributes at its:ruby and no namespace attributes at its:span? (Was: Re: Section on XHTML modularization)

Hi Jirka, all

I think you formulated two proposals here which are relevant for the
tagset draft:

- Should we have only non-namespace attributes at its:ruby?
- Should we have no namespace attributes at its:span?

Both would be fine with me, but we need to decide this rather soon. What
do others think?

I would propose that I make this change in the ODD file if nobody
disagrees until Monday evening 23:00 hour (JST).

I had a different understanding, but as said above I'm fine with your
proposal as well.
