Well, then I think that it makes sense to ::attr(*) and ::attr(foo)
behave differently regarding namespaces:

::attr(*) should select all attributes to be consistent with universal
selector, equivalent to ::attr(*|*)

::attr(foo) should select foo in no namespace to be consistent with
attribute selectors, equivalent to ::attr(|foo)

This is also consistent with XPath, and should create less surprises to
developers.
