I think the confusion comes from the fact that provenanceRecordsRefPointer is the only global information for provRule. So saying that the attribute does not apply to HTML is equivalent to say that the global rule does not apply to HTML.

Maybe the sentence could be: "The attribute provenanceRecordsRefPointer does not apply to HTML as local markup is provided for direct annotation in HTML. Because that information is the only one in the provRule element, the global rule does not apply to HTML." (or something like that) would clarify things?
