In discussing how CTA tests are evaluated in 3.12.4, the specification speaks
of copying the "base information set properties" of certain nodes, including
the element information item itself.

It's not clear what exactly is meant by the "base information set properties".
I was trying to find out how namespaces are handled, and one can justify
copying all in-scope namespaces on the basis that the properties of an EII
include [namespace attributes] and [in-scope namespaces]. However, the
properties also include [parent], which clearly should not be copied, as well
as [attributes] and [children] which are covered by more specific statements.

It should also perhaps be made clear that the [references] property of an
attribute information item is not copied.
