The first part of that paragraph says "matches > attributes with that name". These only talk about one thing each: * "only matches attributes in that namespace" * "matches attributes in any namespace" * "matches attributes in no namespace" * "matches attributes with that name" "matches any attribute", however, implies "all of them", almost "regardless of what we said before". Replacing it with "matches attributes with any names" would be less misleading, and more consistent with the other statements. -- Simon Sapin
