Re: Holy grail

The place to start would be http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-names/#ns-decl

This clearly defines the mechanism for declaring namespace mappings.  
Any specification that in turn requires namespace support normatively 
refers to the above recommendation.  By its very definition, any 
attribute declaration that conforms to the syntax defined in XMLNAMES is 
legal - its just that the old style SGML DTD validation technologies 
were created before XMLNAMES was written and have never been updated to 
know about it.
