Excellent; that makes sense.  One niggling point.  What about the 
rendering of:

<div xmlns:xlink="whatever"
      xmlns:myNS="somethingElse"
      xlink:type="convoluted"
      myNS:type="confusing"
      type="confounding" />

styled with:

div::before { content: attr(*|type) }

?  Should that be considered an error causing the declaration to be dropped?
