Did you intent "qname_prefix" in the second rule?

    qname_prefix
      : [namespace_prefix]? '|'
      ;
    wqname_prefix
      : qname | [ '*' '|' ]
        ^^^^^
      ;

I think copying, rather than referring to the first rule makes the 
second one easier to read:

    qname_prefix
      : namespace_prefix? '|'
      ;
    wqname_prefix
      : namespace_prefix? '|'
      | '*' '|'
      ;

But I wonder if this grammar is necessary at all. The syntax is already 
defined the Selectors module for the selectors part and in the Values 
and Units module for the attr() notation. It's better not to have two 
(normative) descriptions of something, even if it is as simple as this 
one.
