The only difference is that Werner pointed out that some parts of attribute behavior can be modeled with a somewhat erroneous (in that it does not match what the XML/XHTML/etc specs actually say) but simple model -- that of saying the attributes are somehow in the namespace of the element they're attributes of. Daniel's original mail concerned cases where that simple model breaks down and can no longer be used to model the behavior of attributes. -Boris
