I can't think of a way. We don't want to enumerate any particular set
of attributes, we want to allow any attribute in that namespace, but
also in other namespaces, so I think ##other covers it.

Yes. Actually, I made "Any attributes in the
http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude/local-attributes namespace" into a
member of that list.

Uhhhh...maybe. I'm not sure how strongly I want to imply that there's
a particular prefix for them.

Do we? We had that rule for xml:id because an empty string is not a
valid value for xml:id. That's not the case for attributes generally.

I could be persuaded otherwise, but my initial thought is

  xila:foo=""

puts

  foo=""

on the top-level elements.

Anyway, I've updated the drafts at

  http://www.w3.org/XML/2012/08/xinclude-11/

and:

P.S. Thanks, Paul!
