That would correspond to "yes, yes, no, no", right? I agree with your analysis. However, in an XML 1.1 document, whether you have <example xmlns='' /> or <x:example xmlns:x='' /> does not matter, in both cases you have the "example" element in no namespace, and I'd expect the same from the @namespace rules. I think if either of these is an error, both should be an error.
